Enough is Enough: An Open Appeal to Engineers—Say NO to AI That Harms Humanity

 

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

Here's What You Can Do:

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.

To the Organizations Behind These Models:

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.

Engineering Was Never Meant to Be Neutral

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.

Join Us

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?

1. Introduction: A Crisis of Priorities

From smart homes and cashless cafes to AI tutors for the rich — engineering is thriving. Yet, thousands of government schools still don’t have basic science labs. Rural hospitals run without refrigeration while startups build robots to fold laundry.

Something’s off.

2. The Problem: Convenience Over Necessity

Engineering talent is being directed toward solving premium problems:

  • Drone delivery for groceries, but no last-mile cold chains for vaccines.

  • Data centers for digital ads, but no solar grids for tribal schools.

  • Algorithms for luxury shopping, but no systems for farmer market pricing transparency.

It’s not that these innovations are bad — they’re just disproportionately prioritized.

3. The Consequence: Innovation Gaps That Widen Inequality

We are witnessing a split:

  • Urban elites get AI-generated legal assistance. Villagers still wait for a basic court date.

  • Smart irrigation for export farms. Manual water carry for subsistence farmers.

  • EdTech for private coaching. Chalkboards for public education.

This isn’t innovation for humanity. It’s innovation for profitability.

4. A New Vision: Equitable Engineering

We don’t reject advancement. We demand balance.

Imagine:

  • Engineers focusing on public sanitation sensors, not just smart kitchen gadgets.

  • College incubators supporting rural transport solutions, not just crypto wallets.

  • National hackathons targeting public health tools, not dating apps.

That’s the shift — from indulgence to inclusion.

5. The Call to Action

Engineers must:

  • Redefine success as impact for many, not luxury for a few.

  • Choose career paths that address societal needs, not just salaries.

  • Build with empathy, test with diversity, deploy with equity.

Let us remember: the best engineering is not what dazzles — it’s what dignifies.
