Is every surface a non-stop slip and slide to you?
These are bad arguments. Spare me the "this will encroach on the first amendment" for a case of something where the laws that someone was arrested under encroach on the first amendment in a way you disagree with.
Maybe that is this case, maybe you already think it's "a step too far" for people to be arrested for AI CSAM...but then argue that instead of trying to pretend that it's a step along a path to a violation of some great philosophical principle you hold.
I’m just interested where your morals stop. An AI image of murdering a child is perfectly fine with you—in a legal sense—as long as they have pants on. Strange.
Morality and legality are two completely different things.
Morally, I think all of it sucks ass including what you're describing...but that only has a tenuous relationship with what is or ought to be illegal.
Well, we will have to agree to disagree on some things.
Btw, I enjoyed that slip and slide comment. Very clever.
