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.

    Not the guy you’re replying to, but maybe this’ll help you understand:

    If AI art isn’t art, AI CSAM isn’t CSAM

        I’m not making that argument

        Never said ya did

        for this argument to make sense, CSAM would have to be considered art

        That’s not how that works at all my guy, go back to lit 101

        It amazes me the lengths that some people will go to to pretend they’re a fucking moron
