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.

    Depending on the state, yes actually.

    I did time in a medium security facility that also did sex offender treatment (I was there on drug charges). I still have friends that went through that program.

    The men who were actually invested in getting better, got better. The ones invested in staying well, are still well.
