Agreed. Preying on children who don’t understand what they’re signing up for is shitty to begin with.

Then, add that deepfake AI porn is unethical and likely illegal (and who knows what other kinds of potentially-illegal images are being generated…)

And, as you point out, the files having existed in the computer could, alone, be illegal.

Then, as and extra fuck you, burning GPU cycles to make AI images is causing CO2 emissions, GPU wear, waste heat that might trigger AC, and other negative externalities too, I’m sure…

It’s shit all around.
