You realise the AI is being trained on pictures of real children, right?

Disingenuous and misleading statement. No readily available AI is trained on CP.

So it’s wrong for it to be based on one child, but according to you the AI “art” (as you keep calling it) is okay as long as there are thousands of victims instead?

Disingenuous and misleading statement. I’m guessing you don’t understand how AI works. As for AI output, a randomly generated nonexistent person is nonexistent. Simple as that.

Sidenote: I disapprove of nonconsensual Photoshop and AI illustrations of real people, except for fair use cases such as satire. AI is just another illustrative tool, and the choice of tool is beside the point.

So you’re cool with images of 6 year olds being penetrated by a 40 year old as long as “tHe Ai DrEw iT sO nObOdY gOt HuRt”?

No, I am not. And that is still utterly unimportant. It doesn’t matter how I feel about someone’s fictitious illustrations, sculptures, writings, or anything else created by a person or AI that is wholly fictitious.

That’s literally the whole point I am making: It doesn’t matter how I feel about it, it doesn’t matter how YOU feel about it. It’s not real. Neither you nor I nor anyone else has the right to judge someone else’s art.

It does matter how myself and wider society view disgusting content. It matters a lot. And society absolutely has a say of it's acceptance or otherwise to such content. You saying otherwise is absurd.

In the same way that I can't and shouldn't write something incrediblely racist and pretend it's 'art'. Even if AI made it.

Attempting to give AI child porn a pass, as you are doing for some baffling reason, absolutely will create further harm further down the line.
