Hmmm. Might be the platform should be shut down until the issue of it being used to create child pornography is fixed.
If not, Elon Musk could (and should) be facing charges for facilitating its creation.
Agreed but it's all grey area when it comes to AI. Since they are not "real" is it child porn in the eyes of the law? We need more cases to establish the law but you know F-Elon will just take the shortcut and have Donny tell the Supreme Cunts to say AI child porn is ok.
That doesn't matter at all. Simulated child porn has been illegal in the US for over 20 years.

That doesn't matter either. Rich and powerful individuals and corporations have been immune to illegal acts in the US for far longer.

Well look at you acting like precedent (as opposed to the defendant) matters to this SCOTUS.
Very much illegal in Brazil. Our laws specifically target this attempt at dodging the law with semantics. But will Twitter be banned? Of course not.
I mean, Twitter notoriously has been banned in Brazil before.
Oh hell yes!! If it creates what the courts call a "prurient interest" with images of children, real or simulated, yeahh, you're gonna go down for facilitating creation of, or creation and distribution of, child porn..
Before AI took over, I used to make fakes and we had tons of discussions on the forums about it. Even if an actor or actress was of age, if the photo used was from when they were underage it could land the poster permabanned, regardless of how popular their fakes were. (Emma Watson comes to mind - OH! did the shit fly around her likeness being used when a faker on the forum took a still headshot from one of the Harry Potter films to use and the picture was removed almost instantly and his posts were heavily modded for quite a while afterwards..)
Even simulated UA photos.. nope. You don't go there.. ever.
The individuals being depicted in the offending material are real. Grok isn't generating images, it's editing real photos of real underage people. This is very much illegal.
