So AI images of underaged nude girls being reported to police does not warrant any form of investigation?
And AI generation vendors get a free pass for generating child porn
They absolutely should not.
That would affect the economy, and profits, which as we know are much more important than morals, so unfortunately, we must allow it.
Your question was answered in the article but you clearly stopped at either the outrage bait headline or the outrage bait summary.
"Ultimately, the weeks-long investigation at the school in Thibodaux, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) southwest of New Orleans, uncovered AI-generated nude images of eight female middle school students and two adults, the district and sheriff's office said in a joint statement."

The article states that the police investigated but found nothing. The kids knew how to hide/erase the evidence.
Are we really surprised, though? Police are about as effective at digital sleuthing as they are at de-escalation.
The article later states that they continued investigating, and found ten people (eight girls and two adults) who were targeted with multiple images. They charged two boys with creating and distributing the images.
It’s easy to jump on the ACAB bandwagon, but real in-depth investigation takes time. Time for things like court subpoenas and warrants, to compel companies like Snapchat to turn over message and image histories (which they do save, contrary to popular belief). The school stopped investigating once they discovered the kids were using Snapchat (which automatically hides message history) but police continued investigating and got ahold of the offending messages and images.
That being said, only charging the two kids isn’t really enough. They should charge every kid who received the images and forwarded them. Receiving the images by itself shouldn’t be punished, because you can’t control what other people spontaneously send you… But if they forwarded the images to others, they distributed child porn.

When the sheriff's department looked into the case, they took the opposite actions. They charged two of the boys who'd been accused of sharing explicit images — and not the girl.

You should have kept reading.

Oh, shit! Did they shoot the computer?

What? RTFA. 2 boys were charged by the Sheriff's department. They didn't face any punishment from the school, but law enforcement definitely investigated.

The principal had doubts they even existed.
Holy shit, this person needs to lose their job. I don't work in education and I still know that this is a huge problem everywhere.

In Lafourche Parish, the school district followed all its protocols for reporting misconduct, Superintendent Jarod Martin said in a statement. He said a “one-sided story” had been presented of the case that fails to illustrate its "totality and complex nature.”
The "totality and complex nature" is that they suck
Martin, the superintendent, countered: “Sometimes in life we can be both victims and perpetrators.”
and that they're shit. The system fucks up & amplifies the abuse.
Why is the government allowing CP generating AI's to exist?
Because our country is literally being run by an actual pedophile ring.
They'd be more likely to want to know how to do it themselves, than to stop it.

I hope the kid that created these gets the shit beat out of him.
I mean, it’s dissemination of CSAM. He’s getting worse than a beating.
The boy probably has networked parents, gonna be the future Mark Zuckerberg
Louisiana has effectively fully privatized its public school system through the charter school model. Everything's been stripped down and sold off. As a result, parents and students are reduced to the status of at-will clients of a given campus and can be kicked out for any reason or no reason at all.
Add to that, the Louisiana system is also at the forefront of the School to Prison Pipeline, a bureaucratic model that seeks to segregate the population by class cohort and heavily criminalize the behavior of the lower income traunchs in order to maximize its prison population.
Louisiana also happens to have the second largest incarceration rate in the nation. Louisiana prisons also happen to have been heavily privatized, with many of the profits going directly into the pockets of the public leaders and their mega-donor allies.

That's how this school shit goes, zero tolerance really means zero critical thought. You were involved in a fight? That's school violence!
I always tell my personal story when this comes up. In high school I was beefing with my friend over some stupid shit. One day he put me in a headlock and started to fight me. With a free hand I reached up (very big guy btw, I was very small) and grabbed his glasses off his face and squeaked out to let go of me or I'd jam it into his eye. He spun me around and tried to knee me in the nuts (luckily missed) and then yelled at me. We both got suspended for fighting when all I did was get beat up by the guy.
This problem won't stop until law enforcement starts treating deepfakes of minors as possession of child pornography with all the legal ramifications that come with it. Young boys need to understand that their actions have consequences.
In the meantime, no one under 18 should be on social media. I wish AI, deepfakes or in general, could just be illegal, but laws aren't catching up and people are being victimized.
I see Louisiana is living up to its international reputation.
Fed up, she attacked a boy on the bus, inviting others to join her. She was kicked out of Sixth Ward Middle School for more than 10 weeks and sent to an alternative school. She said the boy whom she and her friends suspected of creating the images wasn’t sent to that alternative school with her. The 13-year-old girl’s attorneys allege he avoided school discipline altogether.
When the sheriff's department looked into the case, they took the opposite actions. They charged two of the boys who'd been accused of sharing explicit images — and not the girl.
I know everyone's justifiably outraged over this, but this just makes my heart hurt.
Imagine being a 13-yr-old girl being terrorized by CP of yourself being spread around the entire school and the adults that are meant to protect you from such repulsive crimes just shrugging their shoulders.
It's horrifying.
the images were shared on Snapchat, an app that deletes messages seconds after they’re viewed, and the adults couldn’t find them
If the Sheriff couldn't get the images, it's because he didn't bother to. It's a well known fact that Snapchat retains copies of all messages
Snapchat, an app that deletes messages seconds after they’re viewed
Says smooth brain idiots who don't recall the Snappening.
I'd mainly consider the smooth-brained part the assumption that tech companies willingly delete any data they have access to
Side note but doesn't this basically mean Snap has CSAM on their servers?
