Comment on 25 arrested in global hit against AI-generated child sexual abuse material

Even in cases when the content is fully artificial and there is no real victim depicted, such as Operation Cumberland, AI-generated CSAM still contributes to the objectification and sexualisation of children.

I get how fucking creepy and downright sickening this all feels, but I’m genuinely surprised that it’s illegal or criminal if there’s no actual children involved.

It mentions sexual extortion and that’s definitely something that should be illegal, same for spreading AI generated explicit stuff about real people without their concent, involving children or adults, but idk about the case mentioned here.

It’s certainly creepy and disgusting

It also seems like we’re half a step away from thought police regulating any thought or expression a person has that those in power do not like

Exactly. If there’s no victim, there’s no crime.

It would depend on the country. In the UK even drawn depictions are illegal.

  It sounds like a very iffy thing to police. Since drawn stuff doesn’t have actual age, how do you determine it? Looks? Wouldn’t be great.

    Imagine having to argue to a jury that a wolf-human hybrid with bright neon fur is underage because it isn’t similar enough to a wolf for dog years to apply.

    I mean that’s the same thing with AI generated content. It’s all trained on a wide range of real people, how do you know what’s generated isn’t depicting an underage person, which is why laws like this are really dangerous.

    Exactly. Any time there’s subjectivity, it’s ripe for abuse.
    
    The law should punish:
    
    creating images of actual underage people
    
    creating images of actual non-consenting people of legal age
    
    knowingly distributing one of the above
    
    Each of those has a clearly identifiable victim. Creating a new work of a fictitious person doesn’t have any clearly identifiable victim.
    
    Don’t make laws to make prosecution easier, make laws to protect actual people from becoming victims or at least punish those who victimize others.
