AI-generated child sex imagery has every US attorney general calling for action::“A race against time to protect the children of our country from the dangers of AI.”

    They’re not pictures of real people, proceeding against it on that basis undermines the point and makes them look like idiots. It should be banned on principle but ffs there’s got to be a way that doesn’t look reactionary and foolish.

        That isn’t at all what an AI generated image is. People have been doing that for better than 50 years.

          🤦‍♀️ I obviously mean the replaced portions of the body are AI generated, like photoshop and various other tools have been using.

        Shouldn’t that already be covered under revenge porn laws? At least the distribution side of it.

      But aren’t these models built from source material? I imagine if you want CP AI, you need actual CP to train it, no? That definitely would be a problem.

        No, you can use a genetic algorithm. You have your audience rate a legal, acceptable work. You present the same work to an AI and ask it to manipulate traits, and provide a panel of works to your audience. Any derivative that the audience rates better than the original is then given back to the AI for more mutations.

        Feed all your mutation and rating data to an AI, and it can begin to learn what the audience wants to see.

        Have a bunch of pedophiles doing the training, and you end up with “BeyondCP”.

      My question is where did they get the training data for a sufficiently advance CP image generator. Unless it’s just ai porn with kids faces? Which is still creepy, but I guess there are tons of pictures that people post of their own kids?

        Manga, manwha(?) CG sets etc of shota/loli. Sprinkle in some general child statistics for height, weight etc . And I’m sure social media helped as well, with people making accounts for their babies for God sake.

        Plenty of “data” I’m sure to train up an AI.

        Humans have been raping kids since our inception. Childhood is a relatively modern concept that young adults are now apart of. It’s an ugly and pervasive subject that needs further study to reduce child harm.

      Whatever you wanted to say I do not unserstand your point.

      It’s not about protecting directly real people images, it’s about preventing Pedophilia.

      Pedophilia IS AN ADDICTION!!! Fueling it with anything, even AI, will worsen the ADDICTION!

        No one chooses to be a pedophile - as far as we know it’s just the unluckiest possible sexual attraction.

        Stigmatizing it won’t help anyone - those people need help and everything that doesn’t hurt real children until they get themselves that psychological help is good in my book

          Wtf are you talking about.

          They may not be choosing it, but accepting they exist and ignoring them is a way to say you accept Pedophilia.

          They should know that they do something wrong and that there is help (at lest in France there are processes to try and help them, and it’s about the same as an addiction but with other content).

            Of course they know that what they do is wrong

            But thoughts aren’t criminal and if they manage to control their attraction in a way that hurts no-one (like this ai-generated stuff or the child-sex-dolls or other things that are very creepy to almost everyone else) then they should totally be normal members of society

            I’m not saying that they should be proud of it and see it as something normal - it’s definitely a psychological issue - but denying them stuff that helps them satisfy their urges without hurting anyone should be a good step to help them face their sexuality instead of suppressing them

            I think it should totally be possible to access things like it but it should also be necessary to link to a helpline like the one you mentioned (Germany has something like that) similar to how a helpline for suicide is necessary if someone mentions that subject

              Well, it’s not just that “simple” as to satisfy their urges.

              An addiction, in a way is the more someone consumes the drug, the more they want that drug.

              For some Pedophilia may not be directly inpactful to people around them, however allowing access to such things may worsen their condition. And direct them more towards such content, instead of replacing it with adult pornography.

              Help should be available as you said, with a number to call for advice or help. France I think also has such number, not sure if it’s still online, I just saw some article from some years ago talking about that.

        Are you saying they’re “born this way?” Has that been demonstrated anywhere?
