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.

    However, a picture of water makes me thirsty. But then again, there is no substitute for water.

    I am not defending pedos, or defending Florida for doing something like that.

      That might be a you thing. Pictures of water dont make me thirsty. I get the metaphor you are attempting to make though.
