The laws regarding a lot of this stuff seem to ignore that people under 18 can and will be sexual.
If we allow people to use this tech for adults (which we really shouldn't), then we have to accept that people will use the same tech on minors. It isn't even necessarily pedophilia on all cases (such as when the person making them is also a minor)*, but it's still something that very obviously shouldn't be happening.
* we don't need to get into semantics. I'm just saying it's not abnormal (the way pedophilia is) for a 15-year old to be attracted to another 15-year old in a sexual way.
Without checks in place, this technology will INEVITABLY be used to undress children. If the images are stored anywhere, then these companies will be storing/possessing child pornography.
The only way I can see to counteract this would be to invade the privacy of users (and victims) to the point where nobody using them """legitimately""" would want to use it...or to just ban them outright.
That’s a lot of words to defend fake child porn made out of photos and videos of actual children.
Reading comprehension not a strong suit? Sounds to me they’re arguing for protections for both adults AND minors.
Words is treacherous bastards
I don’t always be like that but sometimes it do
That's about the right amount of words to completely ignore the sentiment of a statement so you can make a vapid holier-than-thou statement based on purported moral superiority.
Have you tried actually reading what they said instead of just making shit up?
But I want to be outraged now!
Uh...this is the second sentence or so (and the start of the second paragraph, I think)
So I'm not sure where you got the idea that I'm defending AI-generated child porn.
Unless you're so adamant about AI porn generators existing that banning their usage on adults (or invading the privacy of the users and victims with oversight) is outright unthinkable? Lol
I'm saying that IF the technology exists, people will be using it on pictures of children. We need to keep that in mind when we think about laws for this stuff. It's not just adults uploading pictures of themselves (perfectly fine) or adult celebrities (not fine, but probably more common than any truly acceptable usage).
What a dumb take. And I do those myself, so I know one if I see one.
I hope "those" refers to the dumb takes and not the nude photos of minors
Yeah for sure
