Comment by SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com on Spain sentences 15 schoolchildren over AI-generated naked images

I read the headline and said oh come on. One paragraph in and that turned to what in the absolute fuck.

Are you surprised by teenage boys making fake nudes of girls in their school? I’m surprised by how few of these cases have made the news.

I don’t think there’s any way to put this cat back in the bag. We should probably work on teaching boys not to be horrible.

Teenagers are literally retarded. Like their reasoning centers are not developed and they physically cannot think. There’s no way to teach that

No, they’re not fully developed, but they distinguish actions morally speaking (even older children do) and they can choose to do better.

It’s how they learn it.

I’m not sure you can teach boys not to be horny teenagers 😜

Having been a teenage boy myself, I wouldn’t dream of trying.

But I knew it wasn’t OK to climb a tree with binoculars to try to catch a glimpse of the girl next door changing clothes, and I knew it wasn’t OK to touch people without their consent. I knew people who did things like that were peeping toms and rapists. I believed peeping toms and rapists would be socially ostracized and legally punished more harshly than they often are in reality.

Making and sharing deepfakes of real people without their consent belongs on the same spectrum.

We do eventually grow up at least

… into horny men

… but hopefully with a little more empathy and propriety.

Being horny is one thing, sharing this stuff another. If whoever did the fake would’ve kept it to themselves, then nobody would’ve even known. The headline still is ass and typical “AI” hysteria though.

They shouldn’t have generated it in the first place. How would you feel if people did that to your mom, or you, or your sisters, or your kids?

I don’t think just keeping it to yourself is enough.

Man can you imagine? Someone cutting out my moms head and glues it on a porstar? I would kill myself.

I don’t really care. People can and will fantasize in the same way about other people too and I’m not going to play thought police.

There are always two paths to take - take away all of humanity’s tools or aggressively police people who abuse them. No matter the tool (AI, computers, guns, cars, hydraulic presses) there will be somebody who abuses it, and for society to function properly we have to do something about the delinquent minority of society.

Guns do not belong in the list. Guns are weapons, not tools. Don’t bother posting some random edge case that accounts for approximately 0.000001% of use. This is a basic category error.

Governments should make rules banning and/or regulating weapons.

Weapons are tools, by strict definition, and there are legitimate uses for them. Besides, my point was that they should be regulated. In fact, because they are less generally useful than constructive tools, they should be regulated far MORE strictly.

Weapons are tools,

Prove it. Prove that the majority of people think of a gun in the same way as they do a screwdriver

by strict definition,

Assertion without evidence

and there are legitimate uses for them.

I see we didn’t read what I wrote, only the first sentence of what I wrote.

Besides, my point was that they should be regulated. In fact, because they are less generally useful than constructive tools, they should be regulated far MORE strictly.

By generally you mean not even close to them yes.

It seems we can’t have a reasonable discourse here because you are ignoring basic definitions. Have a lovely day!

No matter the tool (AI, computers, guns, cars, hydraulic presses) there will be somebody who abuses it,

Hydraulic press channel guy offended you somehow? I’m missing something here.

I don’t think they’re offended. I think they’re saying that a tool is a tool. A gun or AI are only dangerous if misused, like a hydraulic press.

We can’t go around removing the tools because some people will abuse them. Any tool can kill someone.

Guns have no other purpose though, they shouldn’t be lumped in with the rest of that list (except hunting rifles and so on, for folks that actually need them).

That’s purposely obtuse. Of course guns have a purpose, you even listed one.

No, just an example. But if you’ve ever noticed the giant list of safety warnings on industrial machinery, you should know that every single one of those rules was written in blood.

Either Darwin awards or assholes, most likely. Those warnings are written due to fear of lawsuit.

Sometimes other bodily fluids.

The machines need to be oiled somehow.

However this tool doesn’t have any safety warnings written on it. The App they used specifically caters for use-cases like this. They advertise to use it unmorally and we have technology to tell age from pictures for like 10 years. And they deliberately chose to have their tool generate pictures of like 13 yo girls. In the tool analogy that’s like selling a jigsaw that you’re very well aware of, misses some well established safety standards and is likely to injure someone. And it’s debatable whether it was made to cut wood anyways, or just injure people.
And the rest fits, too. No company address, located in some country where they can’t be persecuted… They’re well aware of the use-case of their App.

We could also do a better job of teaching people from childhood not to be assholes.

That’s been working fine…

It’s like these x-ray apps that obviously didn’t work but promoted to see all the women naked. Somehow that was very cool and no one cared. Suddenly there is something that kinda works and everyone is shocked.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
