  • Also the claim is that the reason this particular child is “stressed out” is:

    He said girls especially are barraged with unrealistic and sometimes AI-generated images of women’s bodies at a time when they’re feeling especially self-conscious about their own bodies.

    Now I was never a girl nor especially conscious about my body, I am a male nerd who quickly learned in school not to care what others thought of me too much…

    But I remember around 15 to 20 years ago reading similar claims about youth magazines and advertisements, that they were promoting unhealthy and unrealistic ideas of an ideal body image. So the beauty and fashion industries or whoever didn’t need computers to do those things.

    In both cases, “promoting an unhealthy body image” is literally just free speech which in the US enjoys broad constitutional protection. So the government has no business doing anything against it.
