Then it’s abuse because the law says so and how the images are generated is irrelevant.

Believe it or not, US law isn’t the moral center of the universe not to mention its disproportionate use against groups it doesn’t like.

Having never used an AI generator, generic generated images wouldn’t be an actual match to the dataset images, right? It would just be generating features it understands to be associated with the concept of a child, which would make the claim that the dataset children are the abuse targets a stretch, unless there’s some other direct or indirect harm to them. An immediate exception being a person writing a prompt attempting to create a specific facsimile of an individual.

While true, it also wasn’t really what my post was responding to. Thanks though.

The thread is discussing why it’s considered abuse if you can’t point to a victim. The answer turned out to be “because the law says so.”
