  • What’s the follow on effect from making generated images illegal?

    Do you want your freedom to be at stake where the question before the Jury is “How old is this image of a person (that doesn’t exist?)”. “Is this fake person TOO child-like?”

    When that happens, how do you tell which images are AI generated and which are real? How do you know who is peddling real CP and who isn’t if AI-generated CP is legal?

    You won’t be able to tell, we can assume that this is a given.

    So the real question is:

    Who are you trying to arrest and put in jail and how are you going to write that difference into law so that innocent people are not harmed by the justice system?

    To me, the evil people are the ones harming actual children. Trying to blur the line between them and people who generate images is a morally confused position.

    There’s a clear distinction between the two groups and that distinction is that one group is harming people.








  • The objective now is to ensure that the distribution of this disgusting material is stopped outright and that no further children are harmed.

    Sure, it’ll only cost you every bit of your privacy as governments make illegal and eliminate any means for people to communicate without the eye of Big Brother watching.

    Every anti-privacy measure that governments put forward is always like "We need to be able to track your location in real time, read all of your text messages and see every picture that your phone ever takes so that we can catch the .001% of people who are child predators. Look at how scary they are!

    Why are you arguing against these anti-pedophile laws?! You don’t support child sex predators do you?!"






  • It also adds noise to the site metrics and recommendation algorithm making them less valuable overall.

    It’s like the application that will watermark images with digital noise designed to throw off AI training that uses that image.

    You’re no longer a user who is able to be profiled (because you ‘like’ things completely at random). If everyone was using a plugin like this then advertisers wouldn’t be able to serve targeted content because they wouldn’t know what content types work best for each user because every user clicks ads randomly and so there is no detectable signal, just noise.

    You get the same effect, but reduced, if less people are using it.

    In addition, if half of the users on a website are using adblockers and suddenly those users start clicking ads, then it costs twice as much to advertise while not providing any additional customers which makes spending money on web advertisement less attractive.
