    The fact that regulation is imperfect doesn’t mean the solution is to do absolutely nothing and let AI be used by bad actors (including those feeding real child porn into it) with impunity.

    The entire conversation in the comments here have been “well if AI child porn stops paedophiles from hurting real children, then it has a use”, but in order to prevent real children being used for the training data, it has to be regulated. In fact, you’ll find that the majority of Beehaw users (since I notice you are from a different instance) are in favour of AI being properly regulated. “Some people will break the law anyway” is no excuse not to have laws.

      Sorry, I really don’t support your perspective. If you have reasonable suspicion to believe real child porn is being used in these models prove it to a judge and get a warrant. If someone is a bad actor to the point of criminal intent, prove it to a judge, and bring it to court.

            Right, actually. People who aren’t law enforcement can’t just walk into a court to ask a judge to give them a warrant to take action against a criminal. That is the job of the police. And it’s the job of government to decide what constitutes breaking the law. In due time, governments will, in fact, decide that using real child porn to train AI models is illegal, and enforcing that law will remain the purpose of the police. It will never be the job of private citizens to prove it to a judge, or to do anything else to the criminal except report the crime.

            Libertarian, anarchist, and sovereign citizen deulisional fantasies are not reality. The law is literally structured around not having random people enforcing the law or investigating crimes.
