A Florida man is facing 20 counts of obscenity for allegedly creating and distributing AI-generated child pornography.

A Florida man is facing 20 counts of obscenity for allegedly creating and distributing AI-generated child pornography, highlighting the danger and ubiquity of generative AI being used for nefarious reasons.

Phillip Michael McCorkle was arrested last week while he was working at a movie theater in Vero Beach, Florida, according to TV station CBS 12 News. A crew from the TV station captured the arrest, which made for dramatic video footage due to law enforcement leading away the uniform-wearing McCorkle from the theater in handcuffs.

    Ok, if you insist…yes, CP should be illegal, since a child was harmed in its making. It can get a bit nuanced (for example, I don’t like that it can be illegal for underage people to take pictures of their own bodies) but that’s the gist of it.

      That’s not all of the questions I asked

      They do this with CP as well and must use CP videos to seed it, because the adult model would be too large)… why does AI get a pass for using children’s bodies in this way? Why isn’t it immoral when AI is used as a middle man to abuse kids?

            I already addressed that. If you think all AI should be banned, that’s fine. If you think only AI models creating fake CP should be banned, that’s logically inconsistent.
