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.
Hey, remember that terrible thing everyone said would happen?
It’s happening.
If from now on all child porn would be created artificially instead of by abusing children, wouldn’t that maybe be a good thing?
Not trying to defend anything here, but where there is a want in the world, there is a market, you can’t stop that. If artificial material makes it that even one less child is abused, I think it’s worth having a discussion at least
