AI-created adult content has flooded the internet. But typically, only users themselves know which photos they feed into face-swap tools that insert a person’s likeness into explicit material. That secrecy vanished when Secret Desires — an erotic roleplay chatbot and AI image generator — left portions of its cloud storage open to the public. The exposed files, as reported by 404 Media, reveal a troubling pattern: users routinely uploaded photos of people who never agreed to appear in sexualized content.
Nearly two million images and videos left unprotected
The unsecured databases held close to two million files, including photos of people with almost no online presence. The scope of the leak underscores how widely these roleplay and face-swap apps are being used to create nonconsensual sexual imagery. These images ranged from world-famous entertainers to private individuals with no public profiles.
The datasets also contained the AI-generated outputs — mostly explicit and, in many cases, extremely graphic — in which users had inserted real people into fabricated hardcore scenes. Unlike basic «nudifier» apps that remove clothing, these tools place individuals into full AI-created sex videos.
Azure containers left open to anyone
Secret Desires stored its media links in unprotected Microsoft Azure Blob containers, according to 404 Media. Anyone could retrieve XML files containing direct links and browse through the images and videos.
One container labeled «removed images» held about 930,000 files, many depicting well-known celebrities and very young-appearing women. Another container titled «faceswap» included roughly 50,000 photos. A third, labeled «live photos,» contained more than 220,000 short AI-generated videos.
Most of the material in the «removed images» and «faceswap» folders consisted of real, not AI-generated, photos of women — including adult performers, influencers, and celebrities, as well as many who are not public figures.
Paid face-swap feature encouraged uploads of real people
Notably, Secret Desires operates as a browser-based platform, similar to Character.ai or Meta’s AI avatar tools, offering personalized chatbots and image generation from user prompts. Earlier this year, the company offered a paid feature — costing between $7.99 and $19.99 per month — that enabled users to upload real faces to insert into sexually explicit AI images and videos.
