I feel like they said the same thing about Photoshop.

Photoshop was always something that required skill, and a computer to run it, and a copy of a paid program.

This stuff does not need a lot of those hurdles. It’s all about ease and how it’s usable on your pocket computer that you and all your classmates have with you all the time.

Your thought is still a fair one to have. But there are big differences between what was and this new stuff. In the past you woulda needed a ton more skill and the alignment of a bunch of things to casually generate fake nudes like the ones covered by this article.

Sweet. Me too. In the 90s. This is partially where I draw my understanding of the situation from.

Specifically:

The idea that piracy of professional software isn’t as casual as phone apps or web apps.
The fact that it’s paid software that is professional software with a learning curve.
