You're just projecting your unwillingness to ever take a stance that doesn't personally benefit you.
Some people can think about things objectively and draw a conclusion that makes sense to them without personal benefit being a primary determinant/motivator of said conclusion.
You're arguing against a victimless outlet that there is significant evidence would reduce the incidence of actual child molestation.
So let's use your 'logic'/argumentation: why are you against reducing child molestation? Why are you against fake pictures but not actual child molestation? Why do you want children to be molested?
Your assumption, but there are a ton of royalty-free images that contain children out there, more than enough for an AI to 'learn' proportions etc. Combine with adult nudity, and a generative AI can 'bridge the gap' create images of people that don't exist (hence the word "generative").
That's not a fact. "Child porn" requires a child--pixels on a screen depicting the likeness of a person, and a person that does not actually exist in the real world to boot, is not a child.
I'm just making a reasonable guess based on what's been found about other things in the same subcategory (Japanese research found that those who have actually molested a kid were less likely to have consumed porn comics depicting that subject matter, than the general population), and in other sex categories, like how the prevalence of rape fantasy porn online correlates with a massive reduction of real-life rape.
Seems pretty unlikely that this is going to be the one and only exception to date where a fictional facsimile doesn't 'satiate' the urge to offend in real life, and instead encourages the 'consumer' to offend.
Not the guy you're replying to, but maybe this'll help you understand:
If AI art isn't art, AI CSAM isn't CSAM
Never said ya did
That's not how that works at all my guy, go back to lit 101
It amazes me the lengths that some people will go to to pretend they're a fucking moron
Ok dude, you're projecting your inability to deal with your pedophilia so hard you have to come back a day later just to keep it up
