@iam_preethi @hnshah I used to think this but then I started eating healthy and I’m pretty lean. It’s all diet. If I don’t eat any carbs, sugar, saturated fats (so no rice, dosa, idly, muruku, etc) I can stay lean without going to the gym. Of course it’s hard to maintain a strict diet so I do

@Aella_Girl How do you still think your idea reduces harm?? 1) AI needs training data of real examples, so to build this you need to make more cp 2) Fake products can increase demand for the real thing, you want to take that chance? 3) AI cp is still cp. This would do way more harm
