No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I don't know many of the answers to these questions, I'm no social scientist or doctor. On the tech side of things, this is all very new and we are still coming to grips with it.
I feel pretty comfortable fielding this one though: There should be no exceptions granted for AI generated pornographic content, and a person's facsimile should have the same protections as actual photos of them. I do not think many people will find this controversial among the general public, as it would pretty clearly serve to protect all of us from having our identities used against our will.
I expect that even our congress should be able to get at least something on the books in this direction. Eventually. Maybe. Or at least the FCC or something.
Let me preface this by saying I DO NOT SUPPORT CSAM!
The only issue I take with AI generated images is that theres no true "age" to the picture and any legislation that would allow people to be jailed or charged would have to be worded very carefully.
"Depicting clearly underage subject matter if it were a person or using prompts to generate someone who clearly appears under aged" simply because someone could be marked for life for typing in "naked elf" and the program spits out something with small boobs and childlike features and not having their HD shredded immediately.
💀
Thats exactly my point. Sure the courts may rule in your favor eventually but you just got marched out of work in handcuffs for possession of CSAM, your entire personal and professional circle knows and any explanation you offer is going to sound like total bullshit.
"It was an AI generated image, and it was an elf! She just looked young, but not like illegal young! Guys you have to believe me!"
As if I needed another reason to never watch anime.
"Sir, I'm detecting a strong odor of weeb coming from this vehicle."
Was it the waifu seat covers? The vinyl wrap? The bumper stickers? What gave it away?
Has that ever happened though? I don’t think it happens as much as people imagine it does. This is an issue with any CP, not just ai generated stuff.
Well, yes it has: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/8577037/Man-sent-to-jail-for-watching-pixie-sex
So…. 1) they were obviously child like.
I think it’s safe to say he didn’t get convicted for simply viewing a search result. So I stand by what I said: it doesn’t happen as often as people think it does. Even if you come down on one side… that’s one instance in a global world.
It's not congress' job to make perfect laws, that'd be even less efficient than the one we have now. The interpretation and "fine-tuning" of law is the job of courts, and is literally handled case-by-case and in the hands of judges and literal armies of lawyers every year.
Ok, when someone gets arrested for possession of CSAM because someone decided those pixels looked a little young and their entire life comes crashing down around their ears, the arrest makes the papers and its forever out there. I'm sure they wont mind at all because after they had to financially ruin themselves to beat the charges in court they were found innocent.
Or
The law gets written well by people that we the people pay to do their job and write the laws.
Except everyone handwaves away the whole "written well" or "carefully written" part, because there's no actual good place to draw that line. Which is why you and nobody else can think of one. It will always be eventually up to some judges/juries subjective interpretations, regardless of what line you gave them to work with.
So, they're just going to ban it all. They do not consider digital art collections to be of very great importance, they're more interested in things that involve lots and lots of money, generally. Or things that can be used to stoke fear, so they can come in and get a legislative notch on their belt "saving the day" with some half cocked fix.
Just to get it straight, by "digital art collections" are you talking about that folder of anime girls on your computer?
No, when I say they don't care about digital art collection, I really mean all digital art. They won't ban all digital art, of course, they're just going to make no exceptions for AI generated artwork when considering what is or is not banned. Similarly, using someone's facsimile, which is not currently illegal afaik, should be.
Even entirely fake/generated characters.
CSAM is one of the tools groomers use to groom kids. “See this is normal. Here look at this. Doesn’t that look like fun?”
There are no easy answers here. The issue is complex and extremely difficult, and I don’t think anyone has it figured out.
