You could have a list of Harris’ lies.

No one could compile a list of Trump’s lies. It’d be much more reasonable to compile a list of truths he’s said.

Man, I wonder how many people answering this question “need to” have coffee every morning

So if you were to get 5 cents per image, would you do it? Lol

Not so much when it comes to prompt images.

So again…you wouldn’t do it with your children’s pictures, right?

A tool that allows anyone to generate countless images of CSAM in minutes (based on real images as input) is definitely worse than someone needing to spend years honing an art and using hours to produce one image of CSAM. I’m not really sure how someone could argue against that.

Haha thanks for taking it in good spirits!

Eating a room sounds expensive. Not just in terms of the materials required, but also paying for the aftermath.

It’s not about the speed in isolation. The speed is what allows for the quantity to be much greater.

Just like breaking into one car over night is bad, but breaking into 100,000 cars over one night is a problem of a much greater scope.

You’re definitely right, and I’m aware. The smaller the sample size, though, the more likely an AI art generator would create something that looks very similar to a given individual.

As well, some AI art generators accept prompt images to use as a starting point.

Lol…do you really not see the difference in an AI art generator that can produce realistic CSAM in seconds, and a talented artist who can draw CSAM so realistic that it looks like a photograph?

Sorry, I meant it could create CSAM that, by accident, looks exactly like one of the source children.

AI “publishes” whenever it gives something to the user.

Drawing is different from AI art because AI art can look like photographs.

Because the AI publishes what it creates based on those images. The AI also doesn’t have imagination the way that a person does. It could accidentally create CSAM material with a child that looks exactly like someone’s child. And it can generate images that look like photos. Someone sketching something from memory can’t do that.

There are a lot more poor people than there are rich people. It’s a game of numbers, and a slight increase on the middle class would often bring in more money than a substantial increase on the top percent.

Rich people also have a lot more loopholes they can abuse to pay less in taxes. Closing these loopholes could also potentially/occasionally disproportionately hurt lower or middle class people. They are possible to close, but (A) there’s always more to find, and (B) lobbying means there could be political incentives to not close them.

There’s also the arguments about raising taxes leading to innovation stagnating, or rich people moving to countries with lower tax rates. I’m not sure how much I buy those arguments.

That said, I’m not condoning these. In my country, I think we need to introduce more tax brackets. A doctor making less than $300,000/yr shouldn’t be in the same tax bracket as a CEO making an over $800,000/yr salary before bonuses. But they are in the same tax bracket. That doesn’t feel right to me.

What makes it different than imagining it or drawing it is that the AI is using real photos as training material. If the parents are knowingly providing images, that’s questionable. If the AI is discovering CSAM images, that’s horrible. If it’s using non-CSAM images of children without the knowing consent of the parents, that’s pretty bad too.

To clarify, the second last question about your children was “would you be happy to …”

If you wouldn’t be happy to, then why not?

And if you would be happy to do that, then why? Lol

Would it harm you to have identifiable nude photos of you available for download on the internet?

Would it harm you to have identifiable nude photos of you being used to train AI so that it can create more nude images that are “inspired” by your nude images?

Would you be happy to upload your children’s nude photos so that people on the internet can share them and masturbate to them? Would you be harmed if your parents had done that with your images?

Train it to depict humans that look like anime characters that are definitely 18 or older immortal dragons that are taking on the bodies of young human beings

Then it’d just look like a generic building or something! Haha

they’re hiding behind women and children in hospitals and schools

I dunno, that sounds kind of like “being with their families” and “being treated at hospitals”
