This isn't someone drawing CP though. It's AI-generated CP, which means the model had to be actually trained on CP. You might argue that there are already models trained on CP, and the chicken is already in the nugget, but legalising it creates financial incentive to train on CP because then you can sell your model to paedophiles.
That's not how AI works. The people claiming that AI models have to be trained on CP to make CP have a fundamental misunderstanding of how image generation models work.
If I ask an AI model to make an image of a sexy air fryer fucking a sexy, anthropomorphic, ear of corn, it will produce said image. I promise it was not trained on sexy images of air fryers fucking sexy anthropomorphic ears of corn.
That's what makes AI so dangerous and difficult to regulate. We are not ready for this technology to be in the hands of everyone.
You're wrong. Literally from the article
They're not wrong about the ruling incentivising CP though. I'm sure we'll see shitloads of sites outright advertising it now
That doesn’t mean it has to be. It was, but that is a distinction. AI knows what children look like and AI knows what porn looks like. It is gross but it doesn’t mean there has to be a victim. There are, I’m sure, a ton of (pirated) medical journals and text books fed into many of them.
Correct, and another reason why it's complex. If it was trained on it that's bad, but if the user didn't do the training does that mean what they are doing is okay if it helps them? Or is it bad because of the source? It's a whole can of worms that we won't be able to come to a concensus here, too many grey areas.
