That's right, they're coming for your e-whores

Yeah…..the US gove will totally haha…..pffff ban pornography

@WashedOutGundamPilot @SpurgAnon I understand why this would be a funny thought but they would 100% ban hentai just so their human trafficking business gets the whole pie

@Kyonko802 @WashedOutGundamPilot @SpurgAnon try to ban, lol

@ehhh @WashedOutGundamPilot @Kyonko802 @SpurgAnon they're probably talking about photorealistic AI images. where it's becoming harder and harder to tell if something is actually real or not.

@beardalaxy @WashedOutGundamPilot @Kyonko802 @SpurgAnon It isn't just photoshopped CP albeit https://nichegamer.com/attorney-general-united-states-consider-ai-art-ban-child-imagery/

@ehhh @WashedOutGundamPilot @Kyonko802 @SpurgAnon sorry but to me it still sounds like they are mainly focused on the issue of AI generating stuff that looks like CSAM of children, *not* lolis. the line about being able to generate children whether or not they actually exist isn't in reference to whether or not they are drawn, but whether the child physically exists in the real world and is being deepfaked or the generated child doesn't exist and but is being pulled from a bunch of reference images of children that do exist.

it would be like feeding a stable diffusion model a bunch of CP and a bunch of photos of your neighbor's kid, then using AI to generate CP of that kid, VS just generating things that look like they could be real children but actually aren't.

i don't think this has anything to do with loli. i think the term "realistic animations" that they use is not related to loli whatsoever because A) loli isn't realistic and B) someone saying "animations" doesn't automatically mean they are referring to anime. it could be animated deepfakes they're talking about. they never mention anything about drawings, or cartoons, it's all talking about existing CP being made into models to then make AI generated CP.

i don't think it even mentions the word "art" anywhere

That's all well and good, but this is coming from the same people who ignore elite pedo prostitution rings involving their leaders. They don't give a shit about CP, much less actual child rape. That's just their excuse to try to restrict a branch of technology they're very afraid of and very much want to control.

@Eiregoat @WashedOutGundamPilot @ehhh @Kyonko802 @SpurgAnon no shit the government is evil, i'm just making the point that this isn't some way they're going to censor loli or something, they're very specifically going after photorealistic AI generated CP. which is fair, considering the ethics of generating that are extremely dubious at best.

nichegamer here has blown a gasket over something that doesn't concern lolicons at all, and i'm willing to bet a good amount of people are just looking at the headline and assuming the worst. or perhaps even reading the article and not fully grasping or not reading the legal stuff, so they just look at what nichegamer is saying which is that it will be targeting AI ART and not just realistic AI CP, because there are real children involved in the making of it. it's bad journalism, and it rubs me the wrong way because it makes it seem like lolicons are all coming to the defense of AI CP.

the tweet, alongside using a loli character as a clickbait image (and gura of all characters, who isn't just some manga character but someone with an actual real-life person behind her), insinuates that they want to ban AI art of lolis, but that's just not the case at all. they're going after something that actually has real-life implications. it feels grimy to me.

@Eiregoat @WashedOutGundamPilot @ehhh @Kyonko802 @SpurgAnon and you can cry slippery slope all you want, but you do still have to draw the line somewhere. with real porn we draw the line at using actual children, and i think drawing that line at photorealistic AI generations is fine too.

It isn't about where the line is drawn but who gets to draw it. Ceding the least trustworthy people on earth that kind of power is downright dangerous. They already have too much.

@Eiregoat @WashedOutGundamPilot @ehhh @Kyonko802 @SpurgAnon so what you're saying is that since the people who make and enforce laws don't obey them, the laws shouldn't exist? that's a really fuckin weird take if that's what you're going for, especially when it comes to borderline child porn.
