Comment on I just developed and deployed the first real-time protection for lemmy against CSAM!
joshuaacasey@lemmy.world 9 months agothere’s no such thing as “AI-generated CSAM”. CSAM literally is created by abusing a real human child. There’s no such thing as an “AI child”. It would be a much better idea to protect *ACTUAL existing children instead of wasting resources on *checks notes* fiction
I think you were merely being pedantic, but there are some interesting points in there.
Is it a crime to generate fake “csam”?
Should it be a crime?
How can prosecutors get convictions against a defense of “no, your honour, that video is AI-generated”?
What we have now is still miles off general AI, but it’s going to take years for society to catch up. Interesting times.

You won’t know a photorealistic generative AI image is real or not.

so you admit that like most people you don’t actually give a shit about protecting anyone. You would rather protect imaginary fake fictional characters because it’s easier and makes you “feel good about yourself”. I genuinely hate performative assholes (which is 99% of humans, let’s be honest. 99% of people only care about their feelings and making themselves feel good by thinking that they are doing something good, not actually doing a good thing). There’s no evidence that fictional material is harmful, in fact, quite the opposite there is some evidence that access to fictional material may actually protect kids and prevent abuse from occurring, by serving as a harmless sexual outlet. I mean let’s put it this why, go ask a victim of sexual abuse “If you had a choice, would you prefer that your abuser abused you or that your abuser relieved their pent-up sexual frustration to some fictional material” I guarantee 100% of them will say that they would prefer to have not been abused.
