Comment on Europe takes first step to banning AI-generated child sexual abuse images

Saw that & thought “Good”.

then realized there was an implication…

Shouldnt child sexual-abuse material be illegal no matter what the source that was generating it was??

IE all the underage hentai, whether human or AI generated, all the photo, all the video, shouldn’t it already be illegal, without having to do each source separately?

if they’re having to make each kind illegal as it gets invented, then they’re anchoring on the wrong thing.

It’s the child sexual-abuse nature that ought make it illegal, not what its source was.

( & yes, that too has implication, for some: is it illegal to describe/document one’s own abuse, when one is/was a child?

That, too, is solving the wrong problem.

Correct law takes real work to engineer properly.

The game Nomic was devised to gain people real experience with consequences-of-legal-regime-choices…

Unless people experience how something works, how’re they supposed to understand the consequences of treating it carelessly?

That is as true in physical-technology as it is true in law. )
