Thanks for the information. Was almost curious enough to look for myself.
I wonder if some pedo is just masquerading as a typical 4chan to crowdsource content.
Or is that place just that fucking degenerate…
Comment on 4chan daily challenge sparked deluge of explicit AI Taylor Swift images

I went and looked for it since I know the AI porn “challenge” posts are on /b/ and the theme/title of the latest one is literally “child pussy edition”…
Even for 4chan that’s fucked up. I’m done with the Internet for today, I hope those pedos get shot in the head.

It really is just that degenerate. I haven’t been there in close to a decade, but even back in the naughts and teens, it was full of pedo bullshit (right along side Nazi imagery). There may be good boards on chans, but the place is a shit hole overall.

This is why I stopped going to 4chan in the 00s after lurking for a few months. It became obvious the pedo shit wasn’t just ironic and there was a sizeable cohort which would jump around to whichever board tolerated it at the time. The language from that era then got projected into stuff like pizzagate and Q, in a way which is extremely transparent to anyone who spent even a small amotof time on the site.

It’s 4chan. It’s been the worst place on the internet for decades. It just can’t be topped.

Yeah I remember in the 00s it was an instant ipban to post pedo shit, but also pedobear and joking about it was common. It seemed like people would post actual abuse materials to troll the site but it was quickly dealt with. I was there for “brb church” though where 4chan vigilantes lured an actual pedo and had them arrested.

Hah as if. In the early 00s the mods were in maybe once or twice a day and there was tons of CP being posted.
Worst I saw was a little girl chopped into pieces, and a many -page discussion / argument if it should be sorted as CP or Necro porn. That was the old 4chan.

Yeah I just scrolled passed that shit cause it shocked me too much to engage. Not exactly proud of my b-slur days, but also wasn’t the best time in my life, and there was something oddly welcoming about the site back then. A site where everyone called each other a f*g in ironic comradery vs having it thrown at me by homophobes for example.
Almost 20 years later I actually value the experience of being on 4chan more because of how influential it became to online culture, and later how politics happens on the the internet. It’s very rare but on a few occasions I’ve come across normal people in real life who were b-slurs at the same time, and it’s crazy how recognizable it is.

On the one hand, yeah, I get your point.
On the other hand, if AI art does destroy demand for non-AI content creators, here’s the silver lining.
