    I have mixed feelings about this prosecution of ai deepfakes.

    Like obviously people should have protection against becoming a victim of such and perpetrators should be held accountable.

    But the line “feds are currently testing whether existing laws protecting kids against abuse are enough to shield kids from AI harms” would be a incredibly dangerous precedent because those are mostly designed for actual physical sex crimes.

    As wrong as it is to create and distribute ai generated sex imagery involving non consenting people it is not even remotely as bad as actual rape and distributing real photos.

      I don’t think you’re on the right track here. There are definitely existing laws in most states regarding ‘revenge porn’, creating sexual media of minors, Photoshop porn, all kinds of things that are very similar to ai generated deep fakes. In some cases ai deepfakes fall under existing laws, but often they don’t. Or, because of how the law is written, they exist in a legal grey area that will be argued in the courts for years.

      Nowhere is anyone suggesting that making deepfakes should be prosecuted as rape, that’s just complete nonsense. The question is, where do new laws need to be written, or laws need to be updated to make sure ai porn is treated the same as other forms of illegal use of someone’s likeness to make porn.

      Creating and distributing anything should be legal if no real person suffers during its creation and if it’s not intended at defamation, forgery, such things.

        Bruh how is creating and distributing a non-consensual nude-ified picture of a young girl not a cause for suffering for the victim? Please, explain that to the class.

        Did you just not go to school as a kid? If so, that would explain your absolute ineptitude on this topic. Your opinion is some real “your body, my choice” kind of energy.

          There’s a legitimate discussion to be had about harm reduction here. You’re approaching this topic from an all-or-nothing mindset but there’s quite a bit of research indicating that’s not really how it works in practice. Specifically as it relates to child pornography the argument goes that not allowing artificial material to be created leads to an increase in production of actual child pornography which obviously means more real children are being harmed than would be if other forms were not controlled in the same fashion. The same sort of logic could be applied to revenge porn, stolen selfies, or whatever else we’re calling the kind of thing this article is referring to. It may not be an identical scenario but I still think it would be fair to say that an AI generated image is not as damaging as a real one.

          That is not to say that nothing should be done in these situations. I haven’t decided what I think the right move is given the options in front of us but I think there’s quite a bit more nuance here than your comment would indicate.

          Read my comment again.

          Your opinion is some real “your body, my choice” kind of energy.

          My advice to you would be to improve your reading comprehension before judging this way.

          In particular, the word “defamation”.

        You would be fine with AI-gen porn images of your teenage daughter being distributed around the internet?

              Making forged pics of someone else falls under defamation.

              It’s very clearly not rape, sexual abuse, child pornography or non-consensual pornography.

          Meanwhile in reality check out what she is distributing through Snapchat and only fans… Maybe pursuing the actual crimes first then if there’s spare resources go after fiction.

            Big “but what was she wearing?” energy here.

            I don’t give a shit if she’s doing Shein bikini hauls on Youtube. If you use AI to nudify her pictures, you’re manufacturing child pornography, and deserve the full consequences for doing that.

            As for OnlyFans, they are quite strict about age requirements. Children aren’t running OF accounts. You just hate women and needed to bring up OF to slut-shame.

              No, equating this to an actual child being raped is incorrect. These are not crimes of remotely equal magnitude.

              Comparing a person who raped a child, made photos and distributed them to a person who used Photoshop or an AI tool is, other than just evil, reducing the meaning of the former.

                It is weird how hard you have been defending the production of child pornography in this thread.

    Title is misleading?

    An AI-generated nude photo scandal has shut down a Pennsylvania private school. On Monday, classes were canceled after parents forced leaders to either resign or face a lawsuit potentially seeking criminal penalties and accusing the school of skipping mandatory reporting of the harmful images.

    Classes are planned to resume on Tuesday, Lancaster Online reported.

    So the school is still in operation.

    researchers concluded that “outlawing all deepfakes is unrealistic and unfeasible”—especially since all the harmful AI-generated images that are already out there are likely to “remain online indefinitely.”

    Just think a little bigger:

    It must be a crime to have the harmful material.

    Have it on your PC or phone —> goto jail.
    Have it in your online account —> goto jail.
    Be a service provider and have it on your server —> goto jail.

    This will reduce the stuff.
