Obvious disclaimer first: I do not condone imagery of child abuse, I believe this guy has some kind of psychological problem and needs professional help, AI-generated deepfakes can actually cause real harm and proper regulation is needed.
With that out of the way:
> the generative AI wrinkle in this particular arrest shows how technology is generating new avenues for crime and child abuse.
Is it really child abuse if no children were involved? Does that mean that AI-generated imagery of some protected group being harmed causes actual harm to that protected group? Not saying it doesn't, but it may be worth thinking about.
> The content that we’ve seen, we believe is actually being generated using open source software, which has been downloaded and run locally on people’s computers and then modified, [...] that is a much harder problem to fix.
Sarcastic: people downloading and modifying open source software is a major problem indeed, hopefully a solution can be found.
