It certainly stretches the bounds of reason for me that you could put a person in an isolation chamber with a powerful computer with no network connection, and after they type a few words into it, if the output of the computer has certain qualities, they are now a felon and the output is illegal to possess.

But this seems like the world the “AI-regulators” seem to want.



you don't think it would be problematic for someone to create deep fake images of some ones kids in explicit sexual positions?

I certainly think if the parents found out about it and the law wouldn't do anything about it the parents would take the law into their own hands.

I'm sorry if this wasn't phrased very well. I just didn't know how else to make my point with out be very specific.


A skilled artist can already easily do that and there's no law against it that I know of. (Granted, I haven't researched it because I'm neither an artist nor a pervert...)

Now, if they were drawn to resemble specific people and the producer of the "artwork" used them to harass those people, that's harassment. If they used them to groom other kids, that's an existing crime too. But my point was that the production of gross art in isolation, or the possession of it, didn't need to be criminalized. (Actual photographs of the same were criminalized because of the pretty decent assumption that minors were coerced, harmed, exploited. Probably all of the above.)


That's already illegal - you're using someone's image and likeness in a way they did not approve of.
