AI-created child sexual abuse images ‘threaten to overwhelm internet’
(www.theguardian.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Holy hyperbole, batman! Threaten to overwhelm the internet!
Someone's hungry for clicks today, eh, The Guardian?
Aaaand there you go. This is nothing new. There have been laws on the books for decades to help deal with this exact problem. Someone just slapped "AI" on the story to gin up worry.
They are trying to gather support for the new invasions into your privacy that are required "to save the poor children"
Those poor AI children!
I agree with your assessment wholly. There was a case in the US (don't recall the details) maybe 15 years ago or so where the "cp" was actually drawings of the Simpson's children nude. Judge held that it didn't matter if it was real or fake. This sort of thing isn't new.
I only came to comment that I would not have predicted that AI would be used this way, but am not at all surprised by it.
You must not have been on the internet for very long
Probably longer than most people but I often make the mistake of believing that humans tend to strive for good in spite of everything that indicates otherwise.
Some do. Some don’t. There will always be bad actors.
Didn't the Simpson's movie from 16 years ago get away with showing Bart's genitals? Are we still leaning on the "know it when I see it" definition of sexually explicit material?
They do it in Dragon Ball as well. I think the point is that if it's just passing nudity (i.e. a child being a child), then it's not sexual.
The judge was later found to be hosting CP on his personal website, of a very similar nature.
What the heeeell is this true?
That was Australia, not the US.
Look under Australia in the following Wikipedia page.

We were all worrying AI was going to murder us to save us from ourselves; turns out it's going to do it by literally burying us in CASM.
Asimov was wrong!
