    Honest question, why is this a problem rather than a solution?

    If these kids don’t exist, and having those fake pictured make some people content, what’s the harm?

    Kinda reminds me of furries getting horny over wolf drawings, who cares?

      Did you just compare furries to pedophiles? One of those is harmless, the other is not.

          No, it didn’t but it seems like mine went over yours. Furries usually are fine outside a few bad actors but pedophiles are mentally ill and should not be allowed them to generate AI CSAM just to satisfy them. They should be seeking help, not jerking it to fake kiddies.

            People used to say trans people were mentally ill. If they’re not harming actual children, what’s it to you what their fetish is?

              Stop trying to justify your mental illness. You need to seek help if you think fucking kids is okay.

                I don’t think that. Obviously actually having sex with children is wrong. I was saying that generating AI child porn with no actual harm to children involved can’t be logically argued to be immoral.
