Some time ago there was an occurrence where I bumped into advertisement which openly advertised AI tool with the use-case of using photos of your friends for generating videos as an advertiser feature.

I mean, I wasn't knowledgeable much on this type of thing, so I asked DeepSeek 'Would it be unethical to use photos of your friend to create AI porn with them?' Well, of course, I've got the positive answer to this question and forgot of this thing.

But sometime later I began ruminating on it heavily, plus the fact that I had the thought of doing it to photos of my friend for some seconds at the time, and although I didn't give it any serious notice, it still got hard.

So like this I tried to off-load some of the things that I've had on my mind on reddit, and I was always clear on the fact that I didn't do any AI porn with my friend, but just the fact that I researched this question instead of innately knowing the answer made the people uproar in the comments, and enraged about my conduct.

So I want to understand if I really deserve the blame, or have I just found myself in the middle of strangely puritan culture which would pile on me for a sort of a thought crime? What do you think?
