In that case, the images of children were still used without their permission to create the child porn in question
That's not really a nuanced take on what is going on. A bunch of images of children are studied so that the AI can learn how to draw children in general. The more children in the dataset, the less any one of them influences or resembles the output.
Ironically, you might have to train an AI specifically on CSAM in order for it to identify the kinds of images it should not produce.
Why does it need to be “ nuanced” to be valid or correct?
Because the world we live in is complex, and rejecting complexity for a simple view of the world is dangerous.
See You Can’t Get Snakes from Chicken Eggs from the Alt-Right Playbook.
(Note I’m not accusing you of being alt-right. I’m saying we cannot ignore nuance in the world because the world is nuanced.)
We’re not talking about snakes or chicken eggs, but thanks for the strawman
For your review
No, thanks, I’m not into kiddy porn
That's a whole other thing than the AI model being trained on CSAM. I'm currently neutral on this topic so I'd recommend you replying to the main thread.
How is it different?
It's not CSAM in the training dataset, it's just pictures of children/people that are already publicly available. This goes on to the copyright side of things of AI instead of illegal training material.
It’s images of children used to make CSAM. No matter of your mental gymnastics can change that, nor the fact that those children’s consent was not obtained.
Why are you trying so hard to rationalize the creation of CSAM? Do you actually believe there is a context in which CSAM is OK? Are you that sick and perverted?
Because it really sounds like that’s what you’re trying to say, using copyright law as an excuse.
It's every time with you people, you can't have a discussion without accusing someone of being a pedo. If that's your go-to that says a lot about how weak your argument is or what your motivations are.
It’s hard to believe someone is not a pedo when they advocate so strongly for child porn
its hard to argue with someone who believes the use of legal data to create more data is ever illegal.
Child porn isn’t legal
I am not trying to rationalize it, I literally just said I was neutral.
How are you neutral about child porn? The vast majority of everyone on this planet is very much against it.
I'm not neutral about child porn, I'm very much against it, stop trying to put words in my mouth. I'm talking about this kind of use of AI could be in the very same category of loli imagery, since these are not real child sexual abuse material.
Then why are you defending it?
And I do not believe there is a context where CSAM is okay, I never said that. And me being neutral on this topic doesn't make me sick and perverted.
It’s hard to believe you’re not a pedophile when you advocate so strongly for child porn.
Good luck convincing the AI advocates of this. They have already decided that all imagery everywhere is theirs to use however they like.
