Fine, as long as you agree to prosecute also all companies that produce software to work with images (or generate them without using AI), every company that produce software that can be used to create 3d models and then the renderer that get these models and render them into photorealistic images.
Then you need to go after everyone who produces plugins fot these softwares. And then you need to go to every open source software that do the same thing and every person who contribute to them.
And maybe even hardware vendors that sell graphics tablets for drawing.
Sometime it seems that, especially with AI, people think that the solution is to ban the tool and not to punish who use it to do something illegal.
True, AI make it extremely easy to create such horrific images but AI is not the first tool to do so, it make only faster. Back at the time there were entire Usenet groups dedicated to fake nude/xxx images of persons, both celebrities and normal people, but we have not banned internet, we simply prosecuted (when/if caught) who created the images.
Yeah, that these images are repulsive, but prosecute the companies that make tools that can also generate them was like to prosecute a phone company because someone use a phone to plan and commit an homicide.
Another commenter mentioned that most of the major platforms do have safeguards against this stuff at this point and are more being done with local models. That’s my ignorance and I’m sorry about that. I would agree with you in general - what you do on your local device should be private, which will protect a lot of important usage but also some nefarious usage. Terms and conditions of freedoms.
I was thinking of how Grok in particular was just open to generating these sorts of images without any guardrails. In my mind that was similar to a company producing deadly chemicals without any guardrails for preventing it from poisoning everyone around.
