A 13-year-old girl at a Louisiana middle school got into a fight with classmates who were sharing AI-generated nude images of her
The girls begged for help, first from a school guidance counselor and then from a sheriff’s deputy assigned to their school. But the images were shared on Snapchat, an app that deletes messages seconds after they’re viewed, and the adults couldn’t find them. The principal had doubts they even existed.
Among the kids, the pictures were still spreading. When the 13-year-old girl stepped onto the Lafourche Parish school bus at the end of the day, a classmate was showing one of them to a friend.
“That’s when I got angry,” the eighth grader recalled at her discipline hearing.
Fed up, she attacked a boy on the bus, inviting others to join her. She was kicked out of Sixth Ward Middle School for more than 10 weeks and sent to an alternative school. She said the boy whom she and her friends suspected of creating the images wasn’t sent to that alternative school with her. The 13-year-old girl’s attorneys allege he avoided school discipline altogether.
Why is the government allowing CP generating AI’s to exist?
The problem is that it’s impossible to take out this one application. There doesn’t need to be any actual nude pictures of children in the training set for the model to figure out that a naked child is basically just a naked adult but smaller. (Ofc I’m simplifying a bit).
Even going further and saying let’s remove all nakedness from our dataset, it’s been tried… And what they found is that removing such a significant source of detailed pictures containing a lot of skin decreased the quality of any generated image that has to do with anatomy.
The solution is not a simple ‘remove this from the training data’. (Not to mention existing models that are able to generate these kinds of pictures are impossible to globally disable even if you were to be able to affect future ones)
As to what could actually be done, applying and evolving scanning for such pictures (not on people’s phones though [looking at you here EU].) That’s the big problem here, it got shared on a very big social app, not some fringe privacy protecting app (there is little to do except eliminate all privacy if you’d want to eliminate it on this end)
Regulating this at the image generation level could also be rather effective. There aren’t that many 13 year old savvy enough to set up a local model to generate there. So further checks at places where the images are generated would also help to some degree. Local generation is getting easier by the day to set up though, so while this should be implemented it won’t do everything.
In conclusion: it’s very hard to eliminate this, but ways exist to make it harder.
You say this as if the US is the only place generative AI models exist.
That said, the US (and basically every other) government is helpless against the tsunami of technology in general, much less global tech from companies in other countries.
I’m saying why is it so easy for like 12 year olds to find these sites? Its not exactly a pirate bay situation - you can’t generate these kind of AI videos with just a website copied off a USB and an IP address.
These kind of resources should be far easier to shutdown access to than pirate bay.
Because our country is literally being run by an actual pedophile ring.
They’d be more likely to want to know how to do it themselves, than to stop it.
Because money is the only thing we, as a country, truly care about. We’re only against things like CP and pedos as long as it doesn’t get in the way of making money. Same reason Trump sharing Larry Nassar and Jeffrey Epstein’s love of “young and nubile” women, as Epstein put it, didn’t kill his political career – he’s the pro-business candidate who makes the wealthy even wealthier
The orange Nazi could be raping a 12 yr old girl on national tv, but say it’s the libs and drag queens who are the rapists, and his cult with put their domestic terrorist hats back on
Because of who the president is?

They are actively blocking restrictions on AI to serve their billionaire donors, so yes.
EVERYTHING is political these days, you just get tired of defending corrupt, traitor, racist, misogynist, ignorant, incompetent, PEDOPHILE.
And ANYONE who supports him are all those same things themselves. Repeat: ALL MAGAs are corrupt, treasonous, racist, misogynist, ignorant, incompetent, and PEDOPHILES.
That includes YOU. You are defending him, that makes YOU a PEDOPHILE.
Im with you mostly, but words do mean things, even in this post-fact society.
I understand that, which is why I want to make it very clear that anyone who voted for Trump is a Pedophile.
Don’t like it? Don’t vote for pedophiles.
Sure, bud.
I guess that makes all voters politicians, then?
Or just voters that defend politicians?
Not real clear how this transitive property is supposed to work.
No, just voters that are MAGAs, which supports and defends pedophiles as an official tentpost of their party philosophy.
It’s simple: Anyone who supports and defends pedophiles is a pedophile. If you vote MAGA, which is ANY right wing/conservative candidate, then you are a Pedophile.
It’s so simple, even a MAGA pedophile like you can understand it.
Ah, so you’re just applying it to this one word.
These same supporters are not; con men, obstructionists, felons, rapists, liars, insurrectionists, fraudsters, racketeers, etc etc. just pedophiles.
I’m not, but thanks for playing. Surely even a pedophile like you (I’ve changed the definition to include you) can understand that somebody can say “words mean things” without being a pedophile.
You dont know what politics is do you
Because the question was political. I’m sorry that you’ve got such a teeny tiny brain that you can’t work out that if somebody asks a political question then the response must demonstrably be political. I don’t know how else to put it.
There is no reason to believe Biden is a villain here meanwhile trump was found to be a rapist in court
That’s what you’re going with? Good fuck
Exactly. Snapchat could 100% filter and flag this using AI if anyone cared to make them.
Snapchat allowing this on their platform is the insane part to me. How are they still operating if they’re letting CSAM on the platform??
