The entire concept of being sexually attracted to children is revolting, but I find the concept of criminalizing cartoons or AI generated images perplexing.
The whole legal theory behind criminalizing child porn is that the subjects are minors, can't consent, and are therefore victims. AI-generated pictures aren't people and can't be victims.
Barring evidence that viewing fake kiddie porn highly correlates with the person moving on to the real stuff, I'm not seeing the societal benefit to criminalizing this. Yes it's gross and perverted, but that's not the benchmark by which we define what is legal and what is not.
These people are wired wrong, and they can't be fixed, so I'd much rather that they sat in their house satisfying their urges by jerking off to fake kids than messing with real ones.
I'm guessing the Ai was trained off of real-life kid photos? I don't think creating an AI that can take photos of kids and render them into porn is a safe thing. If it was anime shit or something then maybe the argument could be made that its not hurting anyone but if the pictures were based off realistic kids I think that's crossing a line.
I believe that particular case is already illegal, as you can't take a child's face and literally paste it on an adult nude body. Which means the core of the argument is already set up.
I don't think its a foolproof one though, as the company that let the AI be trained on such images would then end up on the hook for something too.
AI child pornography? Imagine being that much of a predator you have to make your own porn.
Also, of course this guy is the literally anti-right wing stereotype lmao.
