    IMO, if it’s not trained on images of real people, it only becomes unethical to have it generate images of real people. At that point, it wouldn’t be any different than a human drawing a pornographic image and drawings do not exploit anyone.

      Hmmm. I think you will find in many jurisdictions that they are treated as if they do.

        Which is why nobody should use laws as a measure of morality, because they’re often fucking stupid.

      Using pornographic art to train is still using other people’s art without permission.

      And if it’s able to generate porn that looks like real people, it can be used to abuse people.

        I guess we should ban peanut butter and bee cultivation too while we’re at it.

        I don’t think anyone should take luddites seriously tbh

          We just had a discussion on here about how Florida was banning lab-grown meat.

          I mean, the Luddites were a significant political force at one point.

          I may not agree with their position, but “I want to ban technology X that I feel competes for my job” has had an impact over the years.
