A Florida man is facing 20 counts of obscenity for allegedly creating and distributing AI-generated child pornography, highlighting the danger and ubiquity of generative AI being used for nefarious reasons.

Phillip Michael McCorkle was arrested last week while he was working at a movie theater in Vero Beach, Florida, according to TV station CBS 12 News. A crew from the TV station captured the arrest, which made for dramatic video footage due to law enforcement leading away the uniform-wearing McCorkle from the theater in handcuffs.

    So, murder images should probably be banned right? One of those exceptions.

        I know, it’s a question. What about… rape? Is that okay? What are your exceptions?

              I don’t know how well-rendered CSAM has to be in order to be considered legal or illegal, and I frankly don’t give a shit.

                You seem to give a shit.

                  You seem to give a shit. I’m completely fine with the current legal constraints.

                  EDIT: I have a downvote button too! Look at us!

                    I’m just hesitant to make open ended laws about things that aren’t actually real. What’s next? Images mocking Jesus are illegal?
