AI and child sexual abuse, hot take
as a victim of child sexual abuse it honestly pisses me off when i hear people describe ai generated images as "child sexual abuse material"
like, no, that's not what it is. it can very obviously still be Bad, of course, but we still need to be respecting the fact that it is Different. do people not see how it is trivializing actual rape and abuse by comparing it to a made-up image a computer generated out of nothing? how every time i have to talk about Actual Honest To Goodness Real Life Pictures Of A Real Life Child Having Sex Crimes Done To Them In Real Life as a concept i have to add even more fucking qualifiers to lest people think i'm talking about drawings or deepfakes
it's just fucking exhausting
