A Florida man is facing 20 counts of obscenity for allegedly creating and distributing AI-generated child pornography, highlighting the danger and ubiquity of generative AI being used for nefarious reasons.

Phillip Michael McCorkle was arrested last week while he was working at a movie theater in Vero Beach, Florida, according to TV station CBS 12 News. A crew from the TV station captured the arrest, which made for dramatic video footage due to law enforcement leading away the uniform-wearing McCorkle from the theater in handcuffs.

No, I'm admitting they're stupid for even bringing it up.

Unless their argument is that all AI should be illegal, in which case they're stupid in a different way.

Do you think regular child porn should be illegal? If so, why?

Generally it's because kids were harmed in the making of those images. Since we know that AI is using images of children being harmed to make these images, as the other posters has repeatedly sourced (but also if you've looked up deepfakes, most deepfakes are of an existing porn and the face just changed over top. They do this with CP as well and must use CP videos to seed it, because the adult model would be too large)... why does AI get a pass for using children's bodies in this way? Why isn't it immoral when AI is used as a middle man to abuse kids?

As I keep saying, if this is your reasoning then all AI should be illegal. It only has CP in its training set incidentally, because the entire dataset of images on the internet contains some CP. It's not being specifically trained on CP images.

You failed to answer my questions in my previous comment.

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Ok, if you insist...yes, CP should be illegal, since a child was harmed in its making. It can get a bit nuanced (for example, I don't like that it can be illegal for underage people to take pictures of their own bodies) but that's the gist of it.

That's not all of the questions I asked

They do this with CP as well and must use CP videos to seed it, because the adult model would be too large)… why does AI get a pass for using children’s bodies in this way? Why isn’t it immoral when AI is used as a middle man to abuse kids?

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What other questions? Sorry, I missed them.

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I already addressed that. If you think all AI should be banned, that's fine. If you think only AI models creating fake CP should be banned, that's logically inconsistent.

That IS my answer, what the fuck kind of gaslighting shit is this

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

How does that answer

why does AI get a pass for using children’s bodies in this way?

Why isn’t it immoral when AI is used as a middle man to abuse kids?

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

If you're arguing for all AI to be outlawed, I accept your argument as sound and logical.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Okay, Ill wait for you to answer them

Lol, asking you to answer two questions (which you haven't done, and which we can clearly see in the comment chain have not been directly answered) is hard, I see. Probably because you know the answer to those questions will make you lose this argument.

Nice try attempting to project your own use of gaslighting onto me though.

You claim you answered with:

If you think all AI should be banned, that’s fine. If you think only AI models creating fake CP should be banned, that’s logically inconsistent.

But that's not what I asked. You failed yet again to answer my questions. Why even type on here if you want to ignore and gaslight everyone? That kinda makes it seem like you personally care about AI CP not being labeled as immoral. Why is that? Gee, so many more questions you won't answer, which kinda shows what your answer and intent are anyway.

Thank you, I accept your loss and that you were disproven.
