AI-generated child sex imagery has every US attorney general calling for action::“A race against time to protect the children of our country from the dangers of AI.”

    Isn’t AI generated better than content sourced from real life? It could actually drive a reduction in child sexual abuse instances due to offenders leveraging alternative sources.

        Based on my understanding of how current diffusion models work, you actually don’t need to train it on CP. As long as it knows how humans look like without clothes and how children look like even if fully clothed with abayas and stuff, it can make the relation and generate CP when asked to.

        Just to be clear, I’m totally against any form of CP and CSAM. Just explaining how the tech works.

      I see what you’re saying, but ai has yet to offset regular porn production at all. There’s no reason I see to think accepting ai cp would do anything but normalize it and make it more accessible, possibly increasing demand for the real stuff.

      Also, the ai models need to be trained on something…

      One big problem is that it makes enforcement of real abuse impossible. If there is an explosion of that kind of ai generated content and it gets good enough to be confused for the real thing, then real abuse will slip under the radar. It would be impossible to sift through all that content trying to differentiate between ai generated and real if ai generated were ever allowed.

      No it won’t.

      Fueling the child addiction will harden the persons mental health problem.

      One of the ways to help a person with such addiction, is to replace it with adult pornography.

      Fueling it with more of that content won’t do any good.

        Mind linking the study you’re refering here?

        Majority of pedofiles never offend and most of the people in jail for child abuse are plain old rapists with no particular interest in kids per se, they’re just an easy target.

        This is the same old “violent games makes people violent” -argument all over again.

            You mind quoting the part where it talks about the role of adult pornography and how fueling this “addiction” makes it worse?

              There is no part to quote for worsening, there are plenty of studies on addiction to pornography, and addiction to child abuse/porn is the same thing.

              However child abuse/pornography is in a way a different content from adult pornography and can both have their level of addiction.

                  I’m not sure to follow you, why wouldn’t it have a link?

                  It’s obviously stated there is psychological help.

                  Doesn’t it answer your first link question?

                  If you want more link go look on Wikipedia, there are 100ds of them.

                  Won’t bother with you not reading them.

                    You made three claims:

                    1. Fueling the child addiction will harden the persons mental health problem.

                    2. One of the ways to help a person with such addiction, is to replace it with adult pornography.

                    3. Fueling it with more of that content won’t do any good.

                    I asked for a source for these claims because obviously you didn’t just come up with this yourself, so I’m assuming there’s some study to back these claims up which I asked you to provide, and instead you gave me a link that even you admitted doesn’t talk about any of this.

                    Also:

                    It’s obviously stated there is psychological help.

                    From the study you linked:

                    …healthcare providers must rely on data from international literature. These clearly demonstrate that simple psychotherapies do not lead to a reduction in the risk of reoffending. On the other hand, therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and, even more so, the combination of CBT with pharmacotherapy targeting hormones, significantly reduces the risk of reoffending.

              It was in a news/investigation journal on TV at one point. I can’t because I don’t remember the time and journal.

              They talked about people being put in some sort of helping home. There they helped the people get away from such content and replacing it with adult content.

              This was pretty recent if I remember well. So the article above being from 2012 may not have all studies and information.
