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.

      How are you neutral about child porn? The vast majority of everyone on this planet is very much against it.

        I’m not neutral about child porn, I’m very much against it, stop trying to put words in my mouth. I’m talking about this kind of use of AI could be in the very same category of loli imagery, since these are not real child sexual abuse material.

          I’m not neutral about child porn

          Then why are you defending it?
