Creating and distributing anything should be legal if no real person suffers during its creation and if it's not intended at defamation, forgery, such things.
Bruh how is creating and distributing a non-consensual nude-ified picture of a young girl not a cause for suffering for the victim? Please, explain that to the class.
Did you just not go to school as a kid? If so, that would explain your absolute ineptitude on this topic. Your opinion is some real "your body, my choice" kind of energy.
There's a legitimate discussion to be had about harm reduction here. You're approaching this topic from an all-or-nothing mindset but there's quite a bit of research indicating that's not really how it works in practice. Specifically as it relates to child pornography the argument goes that not allowing artificial material to be created leads to an increase in production of actual child pornography which obviously means more real children are being harmed than would be if other forms were not controlled in the same fashion. The same sort of logic could be applied to revenge porn, stolen selfies, or whatever else we're calling the kind of thing this article is referring to. It may not be an identical scenario but I still think it would be fair to say that an AI generated image is not as damaging as a real one.
That is not to say that nothing should be done in these situations. I haven't decided what I think the right move is given the options in front of us but I think there's quite a bit more nuance here than your comment would indicate.
I think this is probably a really good point. I have no issue with AI generated images, although obviously if they are used to do an illegal thing such has harassment or defamation, those things are still illegal.
I'm of two minds when it comes to AI nudes of minors. The first is that if someone wants that and no actual person is harmed, I really don't care. Let me caveat that here: I suspect there are people out there who, if inundated with fake CP, will then be driven to ideation about actual child abuse. And I think there is real harm done to that person and potentially the children if they go on to enact those fantasies. However I think it needs more data before I am willing to draw a firm conclusion.
But the second is that a proliferation of AI CP means it will be very difficult to tell fakes from actual child abuse. And for that reason alone, I think it's important that any distribution of CP, whether real or just realistic, must be illegal. Because at a minimum it wastes resources that could be used to assist actual children and find their abusers.
So, absent further information, I think whatever a person whats to generate for themselves in private is just fine, but as soon as it starts to be distributed, I think that it must be illegal.
"The deepfakes are often used to extort, harass or bully minors, she says, and are easy to make because of the many sites and apps that will "nudify" an image."

Read my comment again.
My advice to you would be to improve your reading comprehension before judging this way.
In particular, the word "defamation".
You would be fine with AI-gen porn images of your teenage daughter being distributed around the internet?
I take it, the word "defamation" is not part of your lexicon.
The issue being discussed does not fall under defamation.
Making forged pics of someone else falls under defamation.
It's very clearly not rape, sexual abuse, child pornography or non-consensual pornography.
Meanwhile in reality check out what she is distributing through Snapchat and only fans... Maybe pursuing the actual crimes first then if there's spare resources go after fiction.
Big "but what was she wearing?" energy here.
I don't give a shit if she's doing Shein bikini hauls on Youtube. If you use AI to nudify her pictures, you're manufacturing child pornography, and deserve the full consequences for doing that.
As for OnlyFans, they are quite strict about age requirements. Children aren't running OF accounts. You just hate women and needed to bring up OF to slut-shame.
No I'm just pointing out the obvious fake morality. Big "somebody think of the children" energy here Todd. You just hate common sense and logic and are bringing it up because you need a knee jerk reaction to simulate an emotional response from real humans.
Somebody in non US satellite foreign state can go and do that now from the youtube "bikini hauls" since they publicly avaoialble
What are you or the feds gonna about that, chief?
If that is your or her concern, don't post pictures online. Otherwise, you are literally the mercy of the internet. Privacy 101.
I am sure giving feds extra powers on this won't end like everything else, ie abused against lesser peons.
No, equating this to an actual child being raped is incorrect. These are not crimes of remotely equal magnitude.
Comparing a person who raped a child, made photos and distributed them to a person who used Photoshop or an AI tool is, other than just evil, reducing the meaning of the former.
It is weird how hard you have been defending the production of child pornography in this thread.
Fr, bro is giving off some strong Trumpist vibes.
What this conversation is about has as much to do with child pornography as hentai with loli characters.
You just can't argue without unsubstantiated accusations, can you?
When real living people are being murdered and abused in droves, you are still worried more about glorified automated Photoshop and accusing its users of being the same as actual rapists.
Creating sexually explicit images of minors is child pornography.
You literally confirmed my claim in your first sentence, and your last.
Production of child pornography is production of child pornography. It does not need to involve rape. Producing child pornography is a separate crime.
Its users are pedophiles because they are producing child pornography. You are defending them.
These are the facts.
Victimless crimes are not crimes. Thus producing any pornography is a crime only when it involves violating someone's rights.
Ah, so you are dumb enough to think it's bad to defend pedophiles who have not committed a crime against a real person?
Damn right, I am defending pedophiles who are being persecuted for being born with that deviation alone. I am also defending pedophiles who satisfy that via any means not harming real people. I will do both till my last breath.
If your argument is that they are disgusting and you don't want them in society, then so are you.
You mean like when someone takes a photo of a minor, removes their clothing to make a sexually explicit image, and uses that image to harass, bully, and extort?
Taking a picture of a minor, making that image sexually explicit, and using it to harass, bully, and extort that minor is not a "crime against a real person"?
You should stop "defending" their "right" to child pornography and start advocating for them to get real help with the very serious mental disorder that causes them to want sexual activity with a minor instead.
My argument is that they should not be given child pornography. Your argument is that they should.
The disgusting people I don't want in society are people who use child pornography, and those who defend their use of child pornography.
Kindly see yourself out and take the rest with you.
