This creates a significant legal issue - AI generated images have no age, nor is there consent.
The difference in appearance between age 16 and 18 is minimal, but the legal difference is immense. This is based entirely on a concept that cannot apply.
How do you define what's depicting a fictional child? Especially without including real adults? I've met people who believe that preferring a shaved pubic area is pedophilia. This is even though the vast majority of adult women do so. On the flip side, teenagers from the 70s and 80s would be mistaken for 40+ today.
Even the extremes aren't clear. Adult star "Little Lupe", who was 18+ in every single appearance, lacked most secondary sex characteristics. Experts testified in court that she could not possibly be an adult. Except she was, and there's full documentation to prove it. Would AI trained exclusively on her work be producing CSAM?
To paraphrase someone smarter than me, "I'll know it when I see it."
But naturally I don't want to see it. One of the things I miss the least about reddit is the constant image posts of anime characters, who may be whatever age they say but which are clearly representative of very young girls with big tiddies bolted on. It's gross, but it is also a problem thatsl's more widespread and nebulous than most people are willing to admit.
I can't think of anything scarier than that when dealing with the legality of anything.
I'm nearly 40 and still regularly get carded while other people out with me do not so it's not just "we card everyone". People are bad at judging age.
Are you in an age gap relationship? I find that my ID gets checked more if I'm in any kind of age gap, I assume due to curiosity. Do you get carded the same amount if you are alone?
Nope I'm not in a relationship ship at all. This is while out with friends but I'm usually the first one there or with one other dude who is about the same age as me so nothing to speak of there. It happens regardless of if I'm alone or not. I got carded at the grocery store checkout last week and she seemed genuinely shocked at my age.

They really downplayed the criticism of the phrase in the article, it's actually criticised quite often for being so subjective.
Sometimes something cant have a perfect definition. What's the difference between a gulf, a bay, and a channel? Where does the shore line become a beach? When does an arid prairie become a desert? How big does a town have to grow before it becomes a city? At what point does a cult bevota religion?When does a murder become premeditated vs a crime of passion? When does a person become too drunk to give active consent? Human behavior is a million shades of gray, just like everytbing else we do, and the things that don't fit into our clear definitions are where the law needs to be subjective.
First batch don't have anything to do with what can get you arrested.
Beyond that, a crime of passion is legally defined as:
Premeditated murder though is:
As for too drunk to consent, you can read "Victim Intoxication and Capacity to Consent in Sexual Assault Statutes across the United States"
The result is the same, when you are dealing with a legal matter, you need real definitions, or you have laws that are too vague and overly ripe for abuse. It becomes the legal roulette of "is the cup half full or half empty" with someones life and/or future in the balance
