A Florida man is facing 20 counts of obscenity for allegedly creating and distributing AI-generated child pornography.

A Florida man is facing 20 counts of obscenity for allegedly creating and distributing AI-generated child pornography, highlighting the danger and ubiquity of generative AI being used for nefarious reasons.

Phillip Michael McCorkle was arrested last week while he was working at a movie theater in Vero Beach, Florida, according to TV station CBS 12 News. A crew from the TV station captured the arrest, which made for dramatic video footage due to law enforcement leading away the uniform-wearing McCorkle from the theater in handcuffs.

    Ok, if you insist…yes, CP should be illegal, since a child was harmed in its making. It can get a bit nuanced (for example, I don’t like that it can be illegal for underage people to take pictures of their own bodies) but that’s the gist of it.

      That’s not all of the questions I asked

      They do this with CP as well and must use CP videos to seed it, because the adult model would be too large)… why does AI get a pass for using children’s bodies in this way? Why isn’t it immoral when AI is used as a middle man to abuse kids?

        What other questions? Sorry, I missed them.

            I already addressed that. If you think all AI should be banned, that’s fine. If you think only AI models creating fake CP should be banned, that’s logically inconsistent.

                That IS my answer, what the fuck kind of gaslighting shit is this

                  How does that answer

                  why does AI get a pass for using children’s bodies in this way?

                    If you’re arguing for all AI to be outlawed, I accept your argument as sound and logical.
