    I would argue AI generated child porn is better than the alternative, perhaps if it was legal it would give people an option that causes no harm

      Research shows that consuming CSAM, even if it’s artificial, may increase the likelihood of that person committing an act of abuse.

        Couldn’t the ai make child porn by just combining the concepts of porn and children? Like there’s no training data of basketball players who are pigeons because they’re not pigeons, but the ais are still able to make basketball player pigeon hybrids that are cluttering tenor for some reason.

      And the abundance of online pornography explains why people don’t rape people any more.

        There are actually studies showing that better access to pornography correlates with fewer sexual assaults.

        This one for example.

        That has been legal far longer than Gen AI has existed, we don’t know how much of an effect it has on crime stats but I am sure there less rape now than there has ever been

        If cutting 100% of crime is the only time doing something is worth it then no laws would exist

          OK, how about another angle. If you make AI CSAM a thing, you’ve given basically anybody in possession of real CSAM an out. Also, presumably real CSAM is still illegal, so the difference between a pat on the back and serious prison time is whether some poor jury thinks the 8 year old rape victim in the video looks real enough.

          Get out of here with this shit. It’s gross.

            I guess that’s a good argument about why it should be mandatory that all AI generated images should have some kind of watermarking to make them identifiable

              generally a good idea, but not for this:

              CSAM distributors will quickly figure out how to add the watermark to real content; what then?

              then you’ve got an even bigger problem on your hands…

                that could be mitigated with cryptographic signatures being attached to the direct output from corporate models and either needing that signature to match or having the full prompt and random numbers for a reproducible output.

      I mean, it would help satiate the pervert(who just wanna look), but it will not make the actual rapist(who want the action, for the lack of better word) to stop, and CSAM is provided by the latter. I don’t see why using genAI CSAM to satiate the former would solve much of the issue, the former will just watch adult porn if there’s no child porn. On the other hand it’s not like there’s a lack of loli hentai.
