These images aren't personal use, though. They are being shared around. How does that not constitute harassment or defamation?
Also, child porn laws apply to people who acquire the material for personal use. You can go to prison for possession, not just for selling. It would take only a small update to the law to have this apply to AI-generated imagery of real children as well. Even that may not be necessary, as it becomes increasingly difficult to differentiate AI-generated photos from real photos.
- prepend 3y agoI’m saying that they are harassment. So prosecute that. I think in the US any images of children are illegal, even if they are computer generated. So it’s currently illegal to possess.

This is the key part: nobody would be upset if these were only for the personal use of the creator - teenagers have been fantasizing about their peers as long as they’ve existed - but the article mentions multiple cases of girls being confronted with non-consensual imagery and at least one of those was an attempt to extort real pictures. Whatever nuanced discussion there is about creating these images doesn’t apply to them being used as weapons.
