Isn’t it a good thing for pedophiles to have an outlet for their desires that doesn’t involve harming children? Am I not seeing an obvious downside?
Pedophilia is not a sexuality and CSAM, AI generated or not, is not a healthy outlet. Pedophilia should be treated as a disease, and pedophiles should receive treatment for that instead.
AFAIK you can't "cure" pedophilia the same way you can't cure homosexuality. The best you can do is teach people not to act on their desires.
Chemical castration?
pedophiles should receive treatment for that instead
In a world where many people cannot afford basic healthcare or – if they can afford it – where healthcare isn’t available in the required quantity, does your argument still hold?
If I'm not mistaking I remember reading that consuming CSAM increases the likelihood of offense since it normalizes the act/makes the fantasies more vivid. It makes them more want to act out what they see instead of removing desires.
It depends on whether you hold a world view where every person is valuable and needs help and understanding to become their best self or one where there are good and bad people and the baddies need to be punished and locked away so everyone else can live their life in peace.
Don’t AI models need to be trained on the material they are trying to emulate?
No, not at all.
That’s why people like them, you can say make me a photo of a “monkey riding a pickle in space” or “a dog made of cheese” and it’ll make it despite obviously having no reference.
It only needs to be trained to know what things are, it can mix them freely.
Now I want to see said monkey...
These are great. What did you use for the animated version?
Well, butter my turnips! That's not something I expected to see today and that cartoon version will eventually find its way into a shirt, I'm telling ya.
Prompt your heart out, it's free.
"Continue with Google", thanks I'm good B-)
On one hand, yes, but on the other, Stable Horde developed a model to detect CSAM thanks to Stable Diffusion, and that's being used to combat pedos globally
What’s interesting is that mammals from mice to dogs don’t draw a distinction between arbitrary ages before trying to copulate. On the other hand, they don’t try to fuck the equivalent of pre-pubescent members of their species either, nothing natural about that.
