A mother and her 14-year-old daughter are advocating for better protections for victims after AI-generated nude images of the teen and other female classmates were circulated at a high school in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, officials are investigating an incident involving a teenage boy who allegedly used artificial intelligence to create and distribute similar images of other students – also teen girls - that attend a high school in suburban Seattle, Washington.

The disturbing cases have put a spotlight yet again on explicit AI-generated material that overwhelmingly harms women and children and is booming online at an unprecedented rate. According to an analysis by independent researcher Genevieve Oh that was shared with The Associated Press, more than 143,000 new deepfake videos were posted online this year, which surpasses every other year combined.

Regardless, you want to punish children for childish behaviour.

[-] Oshka@kbin.social 29 points 9 months ago

That is correct. You punish and educate children who do things wrong. Timeout's a new concept to you?

[-] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

You may be from the US, where this isn’t really a concept, but there is significant evidence that you actually can teach better with proper rewards for good behaviour than you can with punishment for bad behaviour.

I’m actually not sure what the science says about doing both together (maybe I’d read on it more if I actually had kids), but personal experience and discussions at least indicate that parents who punish consistently, rarely couple it with equivalent rewards/praise.

But maybe you and/or your parents are different.

Personally, I just got punished a lot for having ADHD. Not that they knew it at the time, but it turns out that’s effectively what was happening. And for people with ADHD, small immediate rewards are WAY more effective than potential, delayed punishment, even if severe.

Positive reinforcement is a known concept in the US. Who ever told you other wise misled you.

  1. What I described is not “positive reinforcement”
  2. I didn’t mean to say it’s an unheard of concept, but that it’s not a thing that’s normally put into practice here.

Science says we teach alternative behaviors and provide positive reinforcement for socially appropriate behaviors. Punishment (which isn’t just jail, it can be stuff like detention if we’re not losing our heads here) if it’s not paired with a replacement behavior is the least effective. Usually you reserve punishment for “danger to self or others” behaviors..

Now, as to where this behavior falls. Having AI generated porn of yourself all over the internet as a young girl in some of the puritan towns in the US? That could be an absolute nightmare for the victim this of course something has to occur. Perhaps punishment would be best direct towards those who should know better (parents). Here, the harm being to others…how can we replace this particular behavior? Yes, education, but there also needs to be something better for these kiddos to be doing with their time.

Further reading can be found in punishment, reinforcement, functional replacement behavior.

Publish ai porn of everyone ~~in the town until they get the point~~

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

There is "childish behavior" that results in someone getting traumatised in virtually all schools.

[-] Bgugi@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Dropping heavy rocks off a highway overpass is childish behavior.
