I'm no pedo, but what you do in your own home and hurts nobody is your own thing.
Yes, but how is the AI making the images or videos? It has to be trained on SOMETHING.
So, regardless of direct harm or not, harm is done at some point in the process and it needs to be stopped before it slips and gets worse because people "get used to" it.
I wouldn't think it needs to have child porn in the training data to be able to generate it. It has porn as the data, it knows what kids look like, merge the two. I think that works for anything AI knows about, make this resemble this.
That's fair, but I still think it shouldn't be accepted or allowed.
It seems pretty understandable that companies wouldn't allow it, it's more that if it is illegal (like in some places) then that gets into really sketchy territory imo.
I agree it shouldn't be accepted, but I disagree on being allowed. I think it should be allowed because it doesn't hurt anyone.
