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.

    I bet you’ve never convinced anyone of anything ever.

    I’m not interested in going a hundred rounds with you on this. You haven’t made any convincing arguments at all; you’re making the type of shitty “anti-regulation” arguments that right libertarians have been making in bad faith in threads with me and others for decades.

    And all to what end?

    There’s nothing much to be gained by allowing this filth to be legal, and enforceability of important law to be lost.

      Bootlickers throughout history.

      Rights are rights, and they should apply to everyone. Even the unsavory types.

        Rights can have boundaries; freedoms can have restrictions. Take your toddler’s understanding of law, rights, freedoms, along with your don’t tread on me flag and kindly fuck off.

          Freedom from thoughtcrime should have no restrictions. It should never be a crime simply to think or feel a certain way.

          Victimless crimes should not be a thing. Anything that doesn’t harm anyone should be legal.
