There has been a ton of CSAM and CP arrests in the US lately, especially from cops and teachers, along with at least one female teacher seducing boys as young as 12. I cannot understand the attraction to kids. Even teens. Do these people think they are having a relationship, or it is somehow okay to take away another human beings’ innocence? Is it about sex, power, or WTH is it? Should AI generated CSAM and CP be treated the same as a real person since it promotes the same issues? I am a grandfather, and I am worried about how far this will go with the new AI being able to put anyone’s face into a Porno movie too.
It seems to me that a whole new set of worldwide guidelines and laws need to be put into effect asap.
How difficult would it be for AI photo apps to filter out words, so someone cannot make anyone naked?
It’s not congress’ job to make perfect laws, that’d be even less efficient than the one we have now. The interpretation and “fine-tuning” of law is the job of courts, and is literally handled case-by-case and in the hands of judges and literal armies of lawyers every year.
Ok, when someone gets arrested for possession of CSAM because someone decided those pixels looked a little young and their entire life comes crashing down around their ears, the arrest makes the papers and its forever out there. I’m sure they wont mind at all because after they had to financially ruin themselves to beat the charges in court they were found innocent.
Or
The law gets written well by people that we the people pay to do their job and write the laws.
Except everyone handwaves away the whole “written well” or “carefully written” part, because there’s no actual good place to draw that line. Which is why you and nobody else can think of one. It will always be eventually up to some judges/juries subjective interpretations, regardless of what line you gave them to work with.
So, they’re just going to ban it all. They do not consider digital art collections to be of very great importance, they’re more interested in things that involve lots and lots of money, generally. Or things that can be used to stoke fear, so they can come in and get a legislative notch on their belt “saving the day” with some half cocked fix.
Just to get it straight, by “digital art collections” are you talking about that folder of anime girls on your computer?
No, when I say they don’t care about digital art collection, I really mean all digital art. They won’t ban all digital art, of course, they’re just going to make no exceptions for AI generated artwork when considering what is or is not banned. Similarly, using someone’s facsimile, which is not currently illegal afaik, should be.
