Dear Fellow Engineers,

We didn’t become engineers to dehumanize, degrade, or destroy.

But right now, we’re at a turning point. Technologies that were once created in the spirit of innovation and imagination are being twisted into tools of violation, exploitation, and abuse.

From DeepFaceLab to StyleGAN, from LoRA fine-tuned on stolen imagery to Stable Diffusion pipelines trained to strip people’s dignity—these tools are being weaponized for one of the darkest sides of the internet: the non-consensual generation of pornographic images and videos.

We Are the Builders. But What Are We Building?

As engineers, we know the power of what we create. Yet some of the most advanced generative tools of our time are being trained and shared publicly with zero accountability, sometimes even encouraged by developer communities in the name of “freedom” and “open-source ethics.”

Let’s be clear:

There is nothing ethical about releasing a nudification model trained on stolen images.
There is no freedom in enabling the violation of someone’s bodily autonomy through AI.

Disturbing Incidents That Demand Action

• In 2023, a viral case from South Korea revealed that high school students had used AI apps to generate nude images of classmates, causing national outrage and leading to emergency legislative reviews.
• In India, a 2024 incident involved AI-generated pornographic content falsely linked to a prominent woman journalist. Despite her public denial, the damage to her reputation was irreversible and the videos are still circulating.
• A 2022 report from The Washington Post detailed how GitHub repositories were hosting step-by-step guides and pre-trained models to create deepfake pornography, openly accessible for months before takedown.
• YouTube and Telegram have been complicit too: multiple channels and groups are actively promoting NSFW AI-generated content, some under the guise of “art” or “AI experiments.” Many remain online despite repeated reports.

• In 2023, a viral case involved AI-generated nude images of Indian schoolgirls circulated on messaging apps. Despite outrage, police action was limited and delayed.

• Bollywood actresses and news anchors have had their faces superimposed on explicit videos using open-source AI tools. These videos resurface across adult sites and are difficult to remove.

• A YouTube channel with hundreds of thousands of views was recently discovered publishing AI-generated pornographic avatars, many resembling real women without consent.

• Multiple GitHub repositories continue to host nudification models with pre-trained weights under misleading names, escaping moderation.

We Must Act—Not Later, But Now

Report:
If you come across GitHub repos, Hugging Face models, Civitai LoRAs, or other public datasets/tools created with the intent of nudification, deepfake porn, or targeting individuals, report them immediately to platform moderators.

Refuse to Contribute:
Do not support, fork, or star repositories that even subtly hint at NSFW exploitation. Your one star validates misuse.

Call Out:
Challenge colleagues or friends who engage in or support the development of such tools. Stay respectful, but firm. Your silence is permission.

Appeal to Hosting Platforms:
Email, tag, or write to GitHub, Hugging Face, and other hosts. Ask them to ban or restrict AI models trained for NSFW or exploitative purposes, unless under strict license and regulation.

We appeal to you—NVIDIA, Stability AI, Meta, OpenAI, and others:

You are shaping the future. Will it be humane, or horrific?

• Do not release foundation models without safeguards.

• Do not allow NSFW or "uncensored" forks without hard boundaries.

• Do not sit silent while your tech enables harassment, revenge porn, or worse.

You owe more than disclaimers. You owe the world accountability.

Being an engineer doesn't mean you "just build the thing."
It means you understand the impact of what you build—and you choose humanity first.

Let’s build with conscience. Let’s build with care.
Let’s draw the line now, not when it’s too late.

If you’re an engineer who believes in ethics, decency, and dignity—speak up.
Share this. Post your own version. Report unethical code. Educate others.
And help make engineering a force for humanity—not harm.

Because if we don’t act, who will?

IntroductionIn the age of AI, engineers are unlocking unprecedented possibilities to reshape human life. But a growing number are choosing to exploit those powers—not to heal, educate, or uplift—but to materialize and objectify human bodies, especially women, through unethical deep learning applications like DeepFake porn, DeepNude generators, and nudification software. These tools, powered by open-source frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch, are being weaponized against humanity.

This article is a call to conscience—for engineers, researchers, developers, and students. It's time we examine how our tools are being used, and whether we’re shaping a future worth living in.

The Problem

1. Open Source, Open Abuse: TensorFlow, PyTorch, and similar frameworks were never meant to dehumanize. Yet today, they’re the backbone of underground communities creating deepfake pornography, often without consent. Pre-trained models and guides for face-swapping or nudifying victims are now just a search away.

2. Engineering Without Ethics: Many young developers, excited by the thrill of "what's possible," overlook the question of "what's right." This ethical vacuum has resulted in software that degrades dignity while being paraded as innovation.

3. Victims in Silence: Women—especially public figures and students—are increasingly being targeted. Most of these tools are deployed anonymously, making the pursuit of justice incredibly difficult. In many parts of the world, especially in India, laws exist but enforcement is slow, tech literacy in law enforcement is weak, and cultural stigmas keep victims from speaking up.

4. Demand and Desensitization: A disturbing digital culture fuels this. Mass consumption of non-consensual adult content generates demand, while platforms delay action. This isn't a fringe issue—it's becoming mainstream.

Disturbing Incidents That Demand Action

• In 2023, a viral case from South Korea revealed that high school students had used AI apps to generate nude images of classmates, causing national outrage and leading to emergency legislative reviews.

• In India, a 2024 incident involved AI-generated pornographic content falsely linked to a prominent woman journalist. Despite her public denial, the damage to her reputation was irreversible and the videos are still circulating.

• A 2022 report from The Washington Post detailed how GitHub repositories were hosting step-by-step guides and pre-trained models to create deepfake pornography, openly accessible for months before takedown.

• YouTube and Telegram have been complicit too: multiple channels and groups are actively promoting NSFW AI-generated content, some under the guise of “art” or “AI experiments.” Many remain online despite repeated reports.

The Role of Engineers

Engineers are not passive toolmakers. We are active participants in building the moral architecture of the digital world. Every piece of code we write either builds or breaks society. If we ignore where our models end up, we are complicit.

• We must adopt ethical development standards.

• We must build and support AI for defense, not destruction—like deepfake detection tools, authenticity watermarking, and consent-based modeling.

• We must call out and boycott platforms or repositories promoting unethical tech.

The Need for a Cultural Shift

In countries like India, there is little emotional or cultural attachment to engineering. Society idolizes godmen and film stars—but engineers, who shape the nation’s infrastructure, remain invisible. Until we restore dignity and responsibility to the engineering profession, it will continue to be hijacked by bad actors.

We must:

• Promote engineering ethics in colleges.

• Raise awareness through storytelling—highlight victims, expose harm, educate users.

• Hold our own accountable—just as the medical field regulates malpractice, we need tech peer-review and censure.

ConclusionWe are at a tipping point. The same algorithms that can bring clean water, predict disease, or connect remote classrooms are being used to violate people’s privacy, identity, and dignity. But we—engineers, developers, thinkers—still hold the power to rewrite this script.

Let’s not become the generation that built AI to destroy the soul of humanity. Let us be the ones who stood up and coded for conscience.
