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.
Your claim that it’s victimless is, of course, false since real children are used in the training data without consent. This also ignores the fact that the result is child porn, for which you are arguing in support of.
Lastly, your claim that any of this results in any reduction in child abuse is spurious and unsubstantiated.
Your assumption, but there are a ton of royalty-free images that contain children out there, more than enough for an AI to ‘learn’ proportions etc. Combine with adult nudity, and a generative AI can ‘bridge the gap’ create images of people that don’t exist (hence the word “generative”).
That’s not a fact. “Child porn” requires a child–pixels on a screen depicting the likeness of a person, and a person that does not actually exist in the real world to boot, is not a child.
I’m just making a reasonable guess based on what’s been found about other things in the same subcategory (Japanese research found that those who have actually molested a kid were less likely to have consumed porn comics depicting that subject matter, than the general population), and in other sex categories, like how the prevalence of rape fantasy porn online correlates with a massive reduction of real-life rape.
Seems pretty unlikely that this is going to be the one and only exception to date where a fictional facsimile doesn’t ‘satiate’ the urge to offend in real life, and instead encourages the ‘consumer’ to offend.
That’s just defending child porn with extra steps.
Why do you keep defending child porn? And why would you be so willing to die on the hill of defending child porn unless you, yourself, were a consumer of it? Yet, it was you who accused me of projection…
It’s the shamelessness of you and your position that I find most revolting, really.
Not the guy you’re replying to, but maybe this’ll help you understand:
If AI art isn’t art, AI CSAM isn’t CSAM
I’m not making that argument, but thanks for the straw man
Also, FWIW, for this argument to make sense, CSAM would have to be considered art, which it isnt.
It amazes me the lengths that some people will go to to rationalize child porn
Never said ya did
That’s not how that works at all my guy, go back to lit 101
It amazes me the lengths that some people will go to to pretend they’re a fucking moron
We get it. You love kiddie porn.
Yawn
Ok dude, you’re projecting your inability to deal with your pedophilia so hard you have to come back a day later just to keep it up
I’m not the one who’s been defending kiddie porn for several days.
“I know you are but what am I?” Is a defense kids use— like the ones in those kiddie porn you love so much.
