i remember the good old days, when you had to use scissors to physically cut a head out of a photo, and then glue it to your porno mag

Scissors manufacturers: yet another victim of disruptive technology.

I feel like thst would just change stabbing to slashings

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yep. It sounds like a weird hypothetical by a pro-gun activist, and it would be largely ineffective, but the dude seems utterly sincere. It's not hard to just file something to a point if you're serious (it happens in literal prison), so at best it make a small number of crimes of passion less serious.

Banning a useful but abuse-prone technology is always going to create both inconvenience for legitimate users and some level of prevention of bad uses. What the right balance is is a tough, complex question and probably very dependent on when and where you ask it, but unfortunately it often gets boiled down "but the children" or "but freedom".

I don't get the AI-porn hate.

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 32 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Teens use it to generate porn with real classmates.

[–] istanbullu@lemmy.ml 38 points 4 months ago (1 children)

that is not an argument against AI. We didn't ban photoshop because people did face swaps.

[–] leds@feddit.dk 9 points 4 months ago

The harm is in the realisms , this matter when AI generated parn is shared with others.

[–] KillerWhale@orcas.enjoying.yachts 37 points 4 months ago (18 children)

Teens have been making fake porn for ever. Photoshop someones head on another body. Cut a classmates photo and tape to a magazine centre fold. Before everyone gets their pitchforks, I'm not saying this is not harmful to the victims or that their should not be consequences for sexual harassment. This is just another tool.

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago

A far more effective tool

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

or that their should not be consequences for sexual harassment.

This is my thought on it. Deliberately exposing the "model" to such a thing is fucked up. It's sexual harassment, even if the level of realism is "text only". But, people should be allowed to make and consume whatever kind of non-real porn they want in private.

I should note this is not what the law says in many nations, including my own.

They are doing it anyway. It's a plus if they learn one thing or two while doing it

It’s been forever since I’ve been to 4chan… I’m almost afraid to check out /b/

[–] wagesj45@kbin.run 31 points 4 months ago

Porn porn porn porn porn porn porn racism porn. Same as its always been. Maybe more porn now.

[–] Virkkunen@fedia.io 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I checked it out as I was curious. First post was "I sleep with my sister, AMA" and then an AI porn thread with guides and very dangerous lolicon porn.

Do not check it out

CP is illegal and it's borderline (is what I'm guessing, I haven't gone)

[–] jarfil 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Depending on where you live, lolicon can be treated as either:

  1. You're imagining wrong, go to jail
  2. I'll know it when I see it
  3. If it looks too real, you go to jail
  4. Cartoons are not real people
  5. Only PIV is sex, so as long as there is a couple black lines, it's legal for all ages

TL;DR: check your local laws before watching Japanese stuff.
