    It can be abhorrent and unlikable, its still not abuse

      We’re not disagreeing.

      The question was:

      “Is this an abuse image if it was generated?”

      Yes, it is an abuse image.

      Is it actual abuse? Of course not.

        And yet its being treated as though it is

          Well, that’s another story. I just answered your question. “Are these images about abuse even if they’re generated?” Yup, they are.

          “Should people be prosecuted because of them?” Welp, someone with more expertise should answer this. Not me.

          Images of children being raped are being treated as images of children being raped. Nobody has every been caught with child pornography and charged as if they abused the children themselves, nor is anybody advocating that people generating AI child pornography are charged as if they sexually abused a child.

          Everything is being treated as it always has been, but you’re here arguing that it’s moral and harmless as long as an AI does it, using every semantic trick and shifted goalpost you possibly can.

          It’s been gross as fuck to watch. I know you’re aiming for a kind of “king of rationality, capable of transcending even your disgust of child abuse” thing, but every argument you make is so trivial and unimportant that you’re coming across as someone hoping CSAM becomes more accessible.

      No genius it’s just promoting abuse. Have a good day.

        Just like violent video games produce school shooters

          You’ve already fucked up your own argument. You’re supposed to be insisting there’s no such thing as a “violent video game”, because representations of violence don’t count, only violence done to actual people.
