I have mixed feelings about this prosecution of ai deepfakes.
Like obviously people should have protection against becoming a victim of such and perpetrators should be held accountable.
But the line “feds are currently testing whether existing laws protecting kids against abuse are enough to shield kids from AI harms” would be a incredibly dangerous precedent because those are mostly designed for actual physical sex crimes.
As wrong as it is to create and distribute ai generated sex imagery involving non consenting people it is not even remotely as bad as actual rape and distributing real photos.
Creating and distributing anything should be legal if no real person suffers during its creation and if it's not intended at defamation, forgery, such things.
Can you share a full-body shot of yourself please? Don't worry, you won't suffer while it gets used to create other content that we'll distribute to your friends, family, classmates, coworkers, etc.
You first.
EDIT: Also I weren't talking about pics of real people.
"Deepfakes" are edited pictures of real people. I'd be more inclined to agree with you on completely AI generated images but not something specifically intended to deceive others into thinking they're viewing a real person's image.
Deepfakes are, however the top-level comment I was answering was not limited to deepfakes. And as my further discussion with its author shows, they too didn't mean only deepfakes.
Their opinion was that any kind of pornography portraying children, even if it's not shared with others and not based on pics of real people, should be prosecuted just like making real child pornography.
You know, this thread has once again reinforced me in my opinion that the best system of government is Aspie Reich. Only people with Aspergers should be allowed to make laws and judge and hold public posts. The rest of fucking chimps just don't have what it takes to override their chimp instincts.
Oh, so "anything" doesn't mean what it used to mean?
I said "defamation". If you are not capable of reading, that's not my fault.
That's why I'm ancap, you can't deal with such chimp crowds without private tanks.
K dude.
