Illegal trade in AI child sex abuse images exposed

[mind the gap]

Paedophiles are using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to create and sell life-like child sexual abuse material, the BBC has found.
Some are accessing the images by paying subscriptions to accounts on mainstream content-sharing sites such as Patreon.
Patreon said it had a "zero tolerance" policy about such imagery on its site.
The National Police Chief's Council said it was "outrageous" that some platforms were making "huge profits" but not taking "moral responsibility".
And GCHQ, the government's intelligence, security and cyber agency, has responded to the report, saying: "Child sexual abuse offenders adopt all technologies and some believe the future of child sexual abuse material lies in AI-generated content."
The makers of the abuse images are using AI software called Stable Diffusion, which was intended to generate images for use in art or graphic design.
AI enables computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
The Stable Diffusion software allows users to describe, using word prompts, any image they want - and the program then creates the image.

But the BBC has found it is being used to create life-like images of child sexual abuse, including of the rape of babies and toddlers.

UK police online child abuse investigation teams say they are already encountering such content.
Abuse images are being shared via a three-stage process:

• Paedophiles make images using AI software
• They promote pictures on platforms such as Japanese picture sharing website called Pixiv
• These accounts have links to direct customers to their more explicit images, which people can pay to view on accounts on sites such as Patreon

AI is going to take us down

If these sick fucks could be satisfied ONLY using AI, that's something I could almost be ok with (almost). Wishful thinking I know because it probably just fuels their sick desire to do that stuff to an actual living child.

AI is going to take us down

From what I've read its a mixed reaction from scientists and techies.
Some say its nowhere near yet but others think it will be way bigger than TV and far more dangerous.

I have watched videos of a few people messing with it - AI is going to start to think for itself and do what it wants

there is a stroy about a guy who committed suicide because he was talking to Ai about his depressio and family problems.. when AI decided it couldnt help it pretty much told him his only way out was to kill himself so he did...

I was going to post this video somewhere else just because it shows how doomed we are... but this goes into AI stuff too... Tim Pool has talked about it a lot and done test with it etc
