Man Arrested for Creating Child Porn Using AI

A Florida man is facing 20 counts of obscenity for allegedly creating and distributing AI-generated child pornography, highlighting the danger and ubiquity of generative AI being used for nefarious reasons.

Phillip Michael McCorkle was arrested last week while he was working at a movie theater in Vero Beach, Florida, according to TV station CBS 12 News. A crew from the TV station captured the arrest, which made for dramatic video footage due to law enforcement leading away the uniform-wearing McCorkle from the theater in handcuffs.

Show me multiple (let's say 3+) small-scale independent academic studies or 1-2 comprehensive & large academic studies that support one side or another and I may be swayed, Otherwise I think all that is being accomplished is that one guys life is getting completely ruined for now and potentially forever over some fabrications and as a result he may or may not get help, but I doubt he'll be better off.

—My understanding was that csam has it's legal status specifically because there are victims that are hurt by these crimes and possession supports a broader market that faciltates said harm to these victims. It's not as easy to make a morality argument (especially a good one) for laws that effect everybody when there are no known victims.

Dude is gonna get fucked, but someone had to be the test case. Hopefully this gets some legal clarity.

Are you stupid? Something has to be in the training model for any generation to be possible. This is just a new way to revitalise kids

So are you suggesting they can get an unaltered facial I.D. of the kids in the images? —Because that makes it regular csam with a specific victim (as mentioned), not an ai generative illustration.

No, I am telling you csam images can't be generated by an algorithm that hasn't trained on csam

That's patently false.

I'm not going to continue to entertain this discussion but instead I'm just going to direct you to the multiple other people who have already effectively disproven this argument and similar arguments elsewhere in this post's discusion. Enjoy.
