A sex offender convicted of making more than 1,000 indecent images of children has been banned from using any “AI creating tools” for the next five years in the first known case of its kind.

Anthony Dover, 48, was ordered by a UK court “not to use, visit or access” artificial intelligence generation tools without the prior permission of police as a condition of a sexual harm prevention order imposed in February.

The ban prohibits him from using tools such as text-to-image generators, which can make lifelike pictures based on a written command, and “nudifying” websites used to make explicit “deepfakes”.

Dover, who was given a community order and £200 fine, has also been explicitly ordered not to use Stable Diffusion software, which has reportedly been exploited by paedophiles to create hyper-realistic child sexual abuse material, according to records from a sentencing hearing at Poole magistrates court.

Difficult indeed. Maybe banning him from owning a computer or graphics card capable of running local models. Installing spyware on his devices. I'm sure he could get around it, undetected, for a while, if he was determined. But he would be gambling at getting caught.

To be honest I don't really see the point. We are getting to a point where anyone can generate any image of anything at any time. Let him have his fun. We can't sexual conversion therapy him and he isn't hurting anyone. Ones and zeroes, bits and bytes.

For anyone who thinks conversion therapy works; imagine someone trying to convert you from your sexuality. Let's say I tried to make you gay. Would that ever work for you?
