Comment on US man used AI to generate 13,000 child sexual abuse pictures, FBI alleges

  Except that it is an animal abuse image, drawing, painting, fiddle, whatever you want to call it. It’s still the depiction of animal abuse.

  Same with child abuse, rape, torture, killing or beating.

  Now, I know what you mean by your question. You’re trying to establish that the image/drawing/painting/scribble is harmless because no actual living being suffering happened. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t depict it.

  Again, I’m seeing this from a very practical point of view. However you see these images through the lens of your own morals or points of view, that’s a totally different thing.

    And when characters are killed on screen in movies, are those snuff films?

      No, they’re violent films.

      Snuff is a different thing, because it’s supposed to be real. Snuff films depict violence in a very real sense. So so they’re violent. Fiction films also depict violence. And so they’re violent too. It’s just that they’re not about real violence.

      I guess what you’re really trying to say is that “Generated abuse images are not real abuse images.” I agree with that.

      But at face value, “Generated abuse images are not abuse images” is incorrect.
