Internet Watch Foundation has found a manual on dark web encouraging criminals to use software tools that remove clothing. The manipulated image could then be used against the child to blackmail them into sending more graphic content, the IWF said.

Restricting AI will only kill the open source scene and make all AI products subscription based. Since we are moving quickly to an AI driven society this would give our whole economy to google and Microsoft.

Some of us understand what's at stake.

The individuals doing such actions should absolutely be prosecuted, it needs to be illegal to make deep fakes of someone, triply so when it's used to extort that person.

But if you catch someone drunk driving, you prosecute him for drunk driving, you don't ban cars.

But obviously, if someone says "think of the children", you should always mindlessly give up whatever freedoms they are asking you too.

Except you’re not trying to ask for seatbelts. You’re arguing we get rid of the cars.

Ai being the vessel for the problem which is cyber extortion.

You handle the extortion bit by making seatbelts. Not seatbelts that auto buckle. Not cars that don’t start without one. But by providing the safe guards to the people who can then make the decision to wear them and to punish those that put others at risk by their misuse.

You don’t ban alcohol because of alcoholics. You punish those who refuse to use them safely and appropriately and, most of all, those who put others at risk.

That’s freedom. That’s the American way. Not anything else.
