    I am not saying that this is a good thing, but rather generated by AI than the real thing… Still fuckedup though.

      The really sick aspect about this is that someone fed the AI with probably thousands of real child porn images to generate the fake ones.

          Your comment is based in ignorance of the technology. To have AI spit out images of a specific type, you also have to first feed it imagines of said type.

            Again, you’re obviously ignorant of how this stuff actually works. That is simply not the case. Otherwise the training set would necessarily need to have images of every type that you hope to generate, an impossibility and which obviously isn’t the case - a very quick look at some of the crazier things people have generated disprove it. Training the model on nude and clothed images of adults and clothed images of children - as others have pointed out - would allow you to generate nude images of children. Could a model have been fine tuned with CSAM - yes; but it’s certainly not a given, and probably not necessary.

            The stable diffusion sub has somewhat migrated over to the fediverse. You can find more information about how this stuff actually works beyond your introductory understanding of the concept there.

        Not (necessarily) with real naked children. With kids with clothes, adults with clothes, and naked adults.

        It’s not hard for the AI to transpose from a clothed child to a naked one, it’s basically the same thing as switching your gender or making you look old

      Its still fucked up, because it starts with shit like this before moving into real world encounters. Over time the predators brain will see it as a new normal and will want to escalate.

    “Roughly 80 percent of respondents” to a poll posted in a dark web forum with 3,000 members said that “they had used or intended to use AI tools to create child sexual abuse images,”

    wtf

        There are laws against it in the US.

        From the article:

        Two officials from the US Justice Department’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section told The Washington Post that AI-generated images depicting “minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct” are illegal under at least two US laws.

        One law “makes it illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and are deemed obscene.” The other law “defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor,” including “computer-generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor.”

          Similar laws have been struck down by the Supreme Court in the past under the argument that if no children are being harmed (ie, these aren’t pictures of actual children), then there is no basis for the government to restrict creation and possession of the images.

            Thats pretty fucking dumb considering it normalizes the idea of sexualizing children. Are policymakers really oblivious to how that will go?

              Does video game violence normalize regular violence? Are people playing violent video games going out and harming people.

              Can’t believe this argument is still being used in 2023.
