This may be controversial, but I don't care what kind of AI-generated images people create as long as it's obvious they're not reality. Where I worry is the creation of believable false narratives, from explicit deepfakes of real people to completely fictional newsworthy events.
I've read that pedophiles are more likely to act out on their urges if they have access to real images. I would guess that this also applies for ai generated images too, even if they don't look 100% real, but I could be wrong on that. Whatever stops them from abusing kids is what I'm for.
I want to say research on the subject has been inconclusive overall. I'd certainly update my view given convincing evidence that fictional images lead to abuse of real children.
Of course, none of that has anything to do with the non-explicit video linked elsewhere in this thread of an adult woman using the toilet.
A note on the page warns, “Shutterstock does not review AI-generated content for compliance with Shutterstock’s content compliance standards.” Adding that users must not generate imagery that is “false, misleading, deceptive, harmful, or violent.”
I think it really depends on what "young girl" means in this context. The title says "children", but nowhere in the article does it say that. So I'm unsure if this is another AI-boogyman article, or something else.
