Yet another completely normal use of generative AI: not-obviously-illegal CSAM (www.wgal.com)

School student tells AI to put 20 other students’ faces on nude pictures, shares them in chat; it takes months for anyone including the school administrators to act because of some extremely, uh, dubious loophole.

If someone does that in photoshop, it’s a crime; if they do it in AI pretending to be photoshop, it’s somehow not. Gotta love this legal system’s focus on minor technicalities rather than the harm done.

This had nothing to do wtih AI vs photoshop.

The school failed to act because they said they needed proof the pictures existed before they could report it to the police, which was obviously wrong. It is also another example of why people with concerns should report directly to law enforcement instead of trying to go through 3rd parties like schools that just want problems to go away.
