AI Generated CSAM Is Out of Control
AI Generated CSAM Is Out of Control
In this video I discuss how generative AI technology has grown far past the governments ability to effectively control it and how the current legislative measures could lead to innocent people being jailed.
If you want to be taken seriously about child abuse, have you tried not having thumbnails that look like a ten-year-old made them 😂
While lolicon is absolutely disgusting, its not actually csam. Legislation won't work either and is honestly a waste of time. Any effort spent protecting digital children should instead be spent protecting real ones.
The problem is that it's not just cartoon characters, but also realistic looking people. That makes it, especially in the next years when the techniques improve, impossible to know what is fake and what is not and thus the fake ones should also be banned. And these models are trained on images of actual abused children, which of course is the main problem with this.
In general terms, making an idea illegal, and then making representations of that idea illegal, are going to be forever, at best to treadmill, and at worst reduce the effectiveness and reputation of law.
This is really about thought crime. If somebody can draw stick figures, and that can be illegal depending on interpretation. That's thought crime.
It's impossible to completely stamp out thought crime. Computer tools can be used to further thought crime, because they can be used for creative purposes.
If you restrict the use of creative tools, to only a trusted few, or hobble tools for everyone: you create central authority over creative tools, which has its own issues.
It’s impossible to completely stamp out thought crime.
Also, trying to do so through law and enforcement sets a dangerous precedent.
I suspect it would be better to approach it as a public health issue.
And then you run into legal arguments that sound like people trying to jailbreak GPT prompt control.
I'm going to preface all of the following creative work by saying that we live in a universe where everyone is a vampire that never dies, but ages very slowly. All participants in this manga are at least 213 years old....
In some countries all forms of description of underage sexual activities are illegal. So the sentance "She was having sex" is perfectly legal, but add an age marker and it is illegal. "She was having sex on the day before her 18th birthday".
It is hard to legislate around as there will always ve ways to avoid it and get around it. But all this just sounds like the normal hype => fear => hype => fear, etc cycle that all new tech goes through.
Didn't watch the video, but I don't care about AI CSAM. Even if it looks completely lifelike, it's not real.
Prove it's fake when some of it of your daughter is making it's way around school.
You've missed the point. Fake or not it does damage to people. And eventually it won't be possible to determine if it's real or not.
Eh, if you train a ai with CSAM to make more CSAM that a different story. But in general yes.
What data is it trained on? This isn't meant to be a "gotcha" question, I'm wondering about it.
Creating, collecting and sharing CSAM is in the law already. There are orgs and agencies for tracking and prosecuting these violations.
It's like fighting against 3d printers because you can make yourself a diy gun, a thing that have never being possible before because we got all pipes banned from hardware stores. The means to produce fictional CSAM always existed and would exist, the problem is with people who use a LMM, a camera, a fanfic to create and share that content. Or a Lemmy community that was a problem in recent months.
It's better to ensure the existing means of fighting such content are effective and society is educated about this danger, know how to avoid and report it.
What the hell is this guy?
"Here's a case where people made and shared fake nudes of real underage girls, doing harm to the girls"
"But what the hell, that's kind of hard to stop. Oh also here's this guy who went to prison for it because it's already illegal."
"Really the obvious solution everyone's missing is: If you're a girl in the world, just keep images of yourself off the internet"
"Problem solved. Right?"
I'm only slightly exaggerating.
He is a deepfake of luke smith.
Also, I think the most governments would be able to do is to increase the friction of this process by giving all ai-gen photos an 'id' to track later and probably controlling open-source models, but that's harder to do. Most probably old senators who don't know gmail will pass unenforceable laws which won't do jackshit but get them votes.
The point I'm trying to make is, you don't even have to do that.
There are already laws against revenge porn and realistic child porn. You don't have to "prevent" this stuff from happening. That is, as he accurately points out, more or less impossible. But, if it happens you can absolutely do an investigation, and if you can find out who did it, you can put them in jail. That to me sounds like a pretty good solution and I'm still waiting to hear what his issue is with it.
Me: I just want real looking dinosaurs with cool, long flowing hair.
The edp picture is very funny
Couldn't the fact that AI generated content be reproduceable if give the exact parameters(or coordinates in latent space) and model help remove the confusion? Include those as meta data and train investigators on how to use to distinguish generated content from actual evidence.
There's an option to speed up generation but it will make it less deterministic, like in it's 98% the same image but a little different. Also it's very hard to reproduce the same hard and software generation. That's the first issue.
The second is: I had examples of images with generation data, that I could reproduce to look 99% like the original and then just updating a single word or part of the training data (different Lora version for example) , switched the person away or their appearance changed a completely. (Imagine a picture of a street and a car is suddenly not there, or it's blue instead of red). It will make reproducibility not a reliable option. Backgrounds of images are even less reliable than the focus object.

And very much supported by lemmy.
None of these servers are doing this. Some dude is running a script and calling it a day.
What do you people think this will lead to? Is it solvable or not? and if yes then how?
Most of this thread is defending csam, which loli definitely is. WTF. Disgusting community.
I think you're confused. No one is defending CSAM. Lolicon isn't CSAM. Also I don't understand why we would spend effort protecting digital children instead of protecting real ones.
Nobody is protecting digital children and it's almost always disingenuous when this argument is claimed to be made. The effort is to stop the normalization of the sexualization children. Lolicon is exclusively about romancing or sexualizing children. Deluded adults who think what happens in lolicon material is ok are potential risks to real children. Allowing such a risk to children for the pleasure of these adult is absurd.
