What’s the follow on effect from making generated images illegal?

Do you want your freedom to be at stake where the question before the Jury is “How old is this image of a person (that doesn’t exist?)”. “Is this fake person TOO child-like?”

When that happens, how do you tell which images are AI generated and which are real? How do you know who is peddling real CP and who isn’t if AI-generated CP is legal?

You won’t be able to tell, we can assume that this is a given.

So the real question is:

Who are you trying to arrest and put in jail and how are you going to write that difference into law so that innocent people are not harmed by the justice system?

To me, the evil people are the ones harming actual children. Trying to blur the line between them and people who generate images is a morally confused position.

There’s a clear distinction between the two groups and that distinction is that one group is harming people.
