It pointed out that, while young people might be motivated by curiosity rather than intent to cause harm, it was illegal in all circumstances under UK law to make, possess, or distribute such images, whether they are real or generated by AI.

This reminds me of a recent story from Germany.

A bunch of stundents got hold if actual naked pictures of another student and where sharing it around. A teacher got wind of and managed to get a copy from one of the students and reported it to the victims parents. They were quite thankful to the teacher and decided to report it to the police, where teacher was promptly charged with possession of child abuse material. She now faces a 1 year mandatory prison sentence, because there are no exceptions as well.

Sounds reasonable due to young people will be the most interested into making young people AI porn.

The scope for AI to turn children into the generators of extreme content was demonstrated in September by an app which creates the impression of having removed someone's clothing in a photo.

It was used to create fake nude images of young girls in Spain, with more than 20 girls, aged between 11 and 17, coming forward as victims.

The images had been circulating on social media without their knowledge. So far there have been no charges brought against the boys who made the pictures.

Jayzuz. :/

Girls and women just can't get a break anywhere or anytime. Maybe we should be considering manditory classes on anti-misogyny cause parents seem to be failing to do anything.

To be fair, i doubt the boys were doing this with malign intent or even based on misogyny. They were 12-14yrs old, they were probably just goofing around like the dumb lil shits they are, and thinking this to be super funny. And there's only one thing worse than a young boy: a group of them.

Sure they need to be punished for that, and they need to be taught what such actions might actually do to the girls (which i bet they haven't thought of for a second). At least the parents should do this, but they mostly fail anyway, not even understanding what is going on.

So parents and schools need to be educated about MODERN dangers like AI. And that actions perceived as harmless can have tremendous consequences. Especially with new technology for which no clear rules were ever established so far. Or just rudimentary.

Please stop excusing misogyny as just "boys playing around" cause that's a load of crap.

Boys who think like that grow into men who think like that ... so stop it.

You should've read my post before calling it crap. Of course do silly boys grow into silly men. UNLESS THEY'RE TAUGHT NOT TO. But thinking, stupid lil shits have a political agenda or being deliberately malignant and misogynistic, is a bit....Well. They're just pricks who don't know better because noone is telling them. That's not the fault of the boys, it's the fault of the parents and the system.

People are inherently evil unless taught otherwise.
