"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Serious question: if you show an AI an image of a 14-year-old girl, taken from her public Instagram account — what the article says was used to generate fake nudes of her to harass her — how does the AI know she's 14 and not 18? Or to flip it, if you show it an 18-year-old, how does it know she isn't 14 — or 17?
What we think of as "a child" is not what the law defines as a child. For the law, it's 17 and under. For most people, "child" means like, 12 and under. Older than that, they're a teenager, literally, or also an adolescent. Not saying it makes it okay to look at them. But it does make it harder for technology to determine their legality (age of majority).
As a human, how do you tell if a young-looking nude woman you see on an NSFW Lemmy comm is legal or not? If she's in the US, typically you have to be 18 to get a tattoo, so a tattoo in an intimate area implies she was of legal age to get said tattoo, though they can be done by amateurs and there may be some pros who don't ask for ID. But it's one way, you see ink, you assume age of majority. At the very least it's plausible deniability. You can't say pubic hair (or stubble of the same) because that's typically shaven/waxed in grown women. It's a trend, and a popular one at that. The fact is, you don't. You have some criteria and it helps you sleep at night knowing you have some standards. Maybe you saw a 15-17 year old who passed your internal checks and you thought she was legal. Maybe you're above it all and you don't even look at naked people online, but that's beside the point that many still do.
To be clear, I'm as against these "nudify" type apps as anybody. I just want to know how they're expected to tell a perhaps mature teenager from an under-developed adult without asking for ID. Because that's another slippery slope we don't want to go down, but already are. Needing ID to access parts of the Internet, with the true purpose being to identify who is looking at what.
Some one needs to check your hard drives
Ha ha. But, why download anything when it's all online? Point taken — you don't have a good answer, so you insult to deflect. The deflection is obvious, the intent, not so much so. A lesser man might think YOU have CSAM on your hard drive. But I think you just don't know and rather than saying you don't know or simply saying nothing, you try to derail the conversation.
Why is that?
The point you're trying to make is forgiving AI for abusing minors (children) because it can't "know" thier age. You're making a hebeophile vs pedophile argument for a computer, which just makes you sound like a pedophile.
Also, The internet functions by downloading everything you look at. Any image your computer is displaying has been downloaded to your computer, it doesn't just stay on the web. So you may still want to scrub your drive.
The point they're trying to make is that people often throw accusations when sensing that they're unable to support their argument.
Implying someone a pedophile is not an argument, it is a personal attack. If you have an argument then make it, if not don't just sling shit and be a toxic internet person.
