    It can generate combinations of things that it is not trained on, so not necessarily a victim. But of course there might be something in there, I won’t deny that.

    However the act of generating something does not create a new victim unless there is someones likeness and it is shared? Or is there something ethical here, that I am missing?

    (Yes, all current AI is basically collective piracy of everyones IP, but besides that)

      Watching videos of rape doesn’t create a new victim. But we consider it additional abuse of an existing victim.

      So take that video and modify it a bit. Color correct or something. That’s still abuse, right?

      So the question is, at what point in modifying the video does it become not abuse? When you can’t recognize the person? But I think simply blurring the face wouldn’t suffice. So when?

      That’s the gray area. AI is trained on images of abuse (we know it’s in there somewhere). So at what point can we say the modified images are okay because the abused person has been removed enough from the data?

      I can’t make that call. And because I can’t make that call, I can’t support the concept.

        With this logic, any output of any pic gen AI is abuse… I mean, we can 100% be sure that there are CP in training data (it would be a very bug surprise if not) and all output is result of all training data as far as I understand the statistical behaviour of photo gen AI.

            Well AI is by design not able to curate its training data, but companies training the models would in theory be able to. But it is not feasible to sanitise this huge stack of data.

        I see the issue with how much of a crime is enough for it to be okay, and the gray area. I can’t make that call either, but I kinda disagree with the black and white conclusion. I don’t need something to be perfectly ethical, few things are. I do however want to act in a ethical manner, and strive to be better.

        Where do you draw the line? It sounds like you mean no AI can be used in any cases, unless all the material has been carefully vetted?

        I highly doubt there isn’t illegal content in most AI models of any size by big tech.

        I am not sure where I draw the line, but I do want to use AI services, but not for porn though.

        It’s not just AI that can create content like that though. 3d artists have been making victimless rape slop of your vidya waifu for well over a decade now.

          Yeah, I’m ok with that.

          AI doesn’t create, it modifies. You might argue that humans are the same, but I think that’d be a dismal view of human creativity. But then we’re getting weirdly philosophical.
