If I were to send you a video of a duck quacking, would you abandon going to the supermarket in the hope that your computer/phone/whatever you watch it on will now be able to lay eggs?
Listen. It was made to look like a duck. It was made to quack like a duck. It is not a duck. It is a painting of a duck, with voice features. It won't fly, it won't lay eggs, it won't feel pain, it won't shit all over the floors. It's not a damn duck, and pretending it is just because it looks like it and it quacks, is like wanting to marry a fleshlight because it's really good at sex and never disagrees with you. Sure, go ahead and do it - but don't goddamn expect it to also give birth to your children and take them to school in the mornings, that's not it's purpose.
Just wait for the iteration of duck that is actually meant to and capable of doing these things. It'll be pretty cool. But this one ain't it.
Edgy comment here but:
In another thread we were discussing AI-generated CSAM. Thread:
https://feddit.de/post/6315841
You would probably agree, then, that such material is not problematic, because even if it looks like CSAM, and it quacks like CSAM, it is not CSAM, therefore we don't have to take it seriously or regulate it in similar ways that we do regulate actual CSAM, if I continue your logic, no?
very very very different, because the AI image is intentionally attempting to realistically imitate an existing, living, human victim, and because hyper realistic child pornographic art is illegal.
Pedophiles have been making loads of AI child porn. But its legal as long as it doesnt attempt to "look realistic" whatever that means, and isnt trying to look like a real person. A hyper realistic painting of child porn would also be illegal.
Laws might change in the future, but currently AI child porn slips between the same lines that 2d cartoon child porn does.
