Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up
MagicShel@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agoIt’s obviously not a serious suggestion, but the reality is the tools are out there and Pandora’s box can’t be put back on the shelf. Kids can’t be held accountable in a meaningful way. This is just an issue we are going to face basically forever now.
There is a window of time during which most kids are little sociopaths and you can’t appeal to any better nature. They have the means and often no internal or external restraint. And so mutually assured destruction is my tongue in cheek answer.

AI can do penises just fine though, there’s just no market demand for it so quick and easy deep fake sites are focused on female bodies.
But I disagree with this anyway, this will be the “bullied kid brings a knife to class” of AI.

You’re disagreeing with my unserious suggestion? I just… okay. No. Micropenises aren’t a solution. I just don’t think there is one.
If you want to disagree with that, let’s hear it. I have 15 and 13 year old daughters. Anyone can buy a $400 computer, install Linux, install AI, and undress people all day long. There is no legal restraint capable of stopping that, only punishing it.
Shut down model distribution and it’ll move to torrent. Put the kids in the legal system and they are going to face lifelong consequences for 12-year-old assholery. (To be fair, victims often face long repercussions for being targeted, but that’s not imposed by the state which demands a higher standard.) Hold parents accountable and it will disproportionately impact families who spend more hours working and can’t supervise their kids 24/7.
So I’m short on answers, but open to discussion.

They may be little sociopaths, but they don’t run around murdering each other. Our culture hammers it into their brains that it is wrong and they will be severely punished for it. We need to build a culture where little boys are afraid to distribute naked photos of their classmates. Where their friends will turn them in for fear of repercussions. You do that by treating it like a crime, not by saying “boys will be boys” and ignoring the issue.
Treat it like a crime, and address separately the issue of children being tried as adults and facing lifelong consequences. The reforms needed to our juvenile justice system go beyond this particular crime.

Oh… There’s demand for it for sure.
The image generation models that exist are unquestionable proof of demand for penises. I think what’s missing is the kahunas required to make a business around it. There are places even pornographers fear to tread.
