Okay, so if a bot uses AI to generate shitty grainy unflattering dick-pics and send those unsolicited to people, is that still wrong?
To receive a picture (pic) of a dick that never was, attached to a man that could never harm you, as but a figment of the bits? In the absence of implication?
I mean, ignoring whatever ethics you feel about the generation of AI images in general…
Maybe I’m too sleepy… 😴
I agree with you, but this also raises an interesting question. Personally, I wouldn’t consider it a consent issue if someone sent the usual “two circles and an oval” ‘dick’ drawing, or an eggplant emoji… Rude and crass, maybe, but not any more of a consent issue than sending any other non-sexual unsolicited pic would be, which suggests that there’s a level of caricature and lack of fidelity in which it’s okay… I wonder where that line is?
The line is where one is a drawing of a graffiti dong, the other is a hand drawn dick.
In my eyes it becomes offensive when you do more than two circles and an oval, if you draw veins and hairs then it steps into being offensive instead of just immature, but the context matters; if you draw two circles and an oval in a shape of a dick, then hand it to a stranger, that’s offensive.
