A mother and her 14-year-old daughter are advocating for better protections for victims after AI-generated nude images of the teen and other female classmates were circulated at a high school in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, officials are investigating an incident involving a teenage boy who allegedly used artificial intelligence to create and distribute similar images of other students – also teen girls - that attend a high school in suburban Seattle, Washington.

The disturbing cases have put a spotlight yet again on explicit AI-generated material that overwhelmingly harms women and children and is booming online at an unprecedented rate. According to an analysis by independent researcher Genevieve Oh that was shared with The Associated Press, more than 143,000 new deepfake videos were posted online this year, which surpasses every other year combined.

      I am perfectly cool with animated depictions of child sexual exploitation being in the same category as regualr child exploitation regardless

      Not an observation. You’re saying you don’t care about actual victims, children actually being abused. Real, live victims. That’s not worse than someone drawing some pictures you don’t like?

        First of all I didn’t say any of things you’re inferring from the quote you posted.

        But yes, I think sexually exploitative imagery of children is just as vile and disgusting as behavior that directly harms children and very indicative of someone who may attempt to harm a child in the future.

        Wow, you got me. That’s totally what I am saying that you had to fabricate a quote that represents the argument you want to have.

          Fabricate a quote? I literally quoted the start of the thread.

            Misattribute then? My only position was that your rebuttal was not logical while asking for logic, which I thought was funny and “absurd” as you put it.
