Yeah ai would let you make more kiddie porn at a faster rate, but you can't really regulate that. If somebody wanted to draw animated kiddie porn they could still do that. How far would you go until you ban crayons?

I digress, yes, I don't like that this shit is happening and there really isn't a way. Making kiddie porn is already illegal and there's no way to regulate these tools so we can just try our best to catch them.

Some people say this ai thing for porn could lead to less sexual abuse. It's so dark I'm kind of speechless but maybe it could even reduce actual people from getting physically hurt but I have no clue, time will tell.

It's genuinely impressive how completely you missed my point.

How about another analogy: US federal law allows people to own individual firearms, but not grenades.

But they're both things that kill people, right? Why would they be treated differently?

Hint: it's about scale.

The same is true of pipe bombs. But anyone can make a pipe bomb. Genie is out of the bottle, right? So why are there laws regulating manufacture and ownership of them? Hmm...

I guess we kind of agree then. A.i is a pipe bomb for kiddie porn and the genie is out of the bottle. Not much we can do about it. We will still have laws but that won't stop anything. I already stated that the easy to access a.i services already prevent this from happening and there will be more regulation, though I don't see what more laws and regulations can bring to the table.
