“So if you start in the middle, my size, it means the jeans will fit almost anyone in that range,” she said.
Likewise, if you start out with a large size, a size 32, it will have too much curve for smaller, less shapely customers. “If you fit jeans on a very small size, a size 24, the model is going to be very thin and not have a lot of butt and not give the pattern any shape, which would then flatten the bottom of a size 32 customer,” Wagner explains. The model, who has helped brands such as Levi’s, 7 For All Mankind, Paige Denim, and Citizens of Humanity create the perfect fit, tells Vogue: Standing at 5-foot-8, Wagner is a “perfect size six” with a 28-inch waist, which sits right in the middle of the fashion industry’s standard size range, typically running from a 24 to a 32.Īlthough she’s tall and relatively thin, Wagner has just the right amount of curve to her figure to supposedly make her the ultimate average representation of all women’s butts. These advancements are "continuously improving the quality, customizability, and accessibility of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled content creation," the FBI warned.Natasha Wagner is a 34-year-old model from Los Angeles, who for the past 12 years, has been helping denim companies craft the ideal fit for their jeans. The agency blamed recent technology advancements for the surge in malicious deepfakes because AI tools like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and DALL-E can be used to generate realistic images based on simple text prompts.
These images aren't just spreading on the dark web, either, but on "social media, public forums, or pornographic websites," the FBI warned. Earlier this month, the FBI issued an alert, "warning the public of malicious actors creating synthetic content (commonly referred to as 'deepfakes') by manipulating benign photographs or videos to target victims," including reports of "minor children and non-consenting adults, whose photos or videos were altered into explicit content." There seems to be no precedent, however, as officials could not cite a single prior case resulting in federal charges, the Post reported.Īs authorities become more aware of the growing problem, the public is being warned to change online behaviors to prevent victimization. While some users creating AI images and even some legal analysts believe this content is potentially not illegal because no real children are harmed, some United States Justice Department officials told the Post that AI images sexualizing minors still violate federal child-protection laws. "Roughly 80 percent of respondents" to a poll posted in a dark web forum with 3,000 members said that "they had used or intended to use AI tools to create child sexual abuse images," ActiveFence, which builds trust and safety tools for online platforms and streaming sites, reported in May. Both law enforcement and child-safety experts report these AI images are increasingly being popularized on dark web pedophile forums, with many Internet users "wrongly" viewing this content as a legally gray alternative to trading illegal child sexual abuse materials (CSAM). But that technology only works to detect previously reported images, not newly AI-generated images. Normally, content of known victims can be blocked by child safety tools that hash reported images and detect when they are reshared to block uploads on online platforms. “Children’s images, including the content of known victims, are being repurposed for this really evil output,” Portnoff said. Harmful AI materials can also re-victimize anyone whose images of past abuse are used to train AI models to generate fake images. Now, law enforcement will be further delayed in investigations by efforts to determine if materials are real or not. This "explosion" of "disturbingly" realistic images could help normalize child sexual exploitation, lure more children into harm's way, and make it harder for law enforcement to find actual children being harmed, experts told the Post.įinding victims depicted in child sexual abuse materials is already a "needle in a haystack problem," Rebecca Portnoff, the director of data science at the nonprofit child-safety group Thorn, told the Post. Child safety experts are growing increasingly powerless to stop thousands of "AI-generated child sex images" from being easily and rapidly created, then shared across dark web pedophile forums, The Washington Post reported.
