I've used this example (CSAM-making AI models) as an illustration of the difference between ethics and morals many times. It would be theoretically ethical to use these models. It would, however, be immoral. Since governments are allergic to morality these days, it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
- smabie 3y agoWhy would it be immoral?
- Try1275 3y agoI think the argument is that the models are trained on real pics? The other argument could be that it increases the chances of someone moving on from the consumption state to the abuse state.
- jeltz 3y agoThe second part could also be the other way round. If there is easy access to CSAM maybe there will be less abuse. I could see either case be true, or that the availability of such material does not change incidence of abuse st all. But having to train models on real materials is a major moral issue.

I could see either case be true, or that the availability of such material does not change incidence of abuse st all. This is actually my opinion but I have no hard data on this. Is it feasible to apply the same logic as with video games where realistic killing is depicted and the argument is that this doesn't make people killers in real life?
