Child psychiatrist jailed after using AI to make pornographic deep-fakes of kids

Pretty sure the actual CP played a bigger role in the sentencing

Yeah this is a scary, clickbaity headline meant to invoke a negative response about AI. AI is a tool, like a computer or pipe wrench. It can be used for good or bad.

The sicko got what he deserved, but the AI bit is rather over-the-top.
- The part that freaks me out is more that he was in an influential position in children's lives and he was making images of the specific children who were his patients.
- Username totally checks out. Definitely not AI or a bot.
CP? What does that mean?
- Child pornography.
How come you are already using a short form, how often do you talk about this kind of thing???
- Its pretty well established what CP stands for.

In this case there are several crimes, but in the other one mentioned about a korean there is nothing, only possession of generated content arguing that there is high realism (someone could say the same even of a sketch). To imprison for acts that have neither victims nor any harm either directly or indirectly, is more aberrant than possessing that.

PS: I'm just talking about legality and rights, I know it's controversial and I'm sure someone has something to argue against it, but if you're going to accuse me of being a pedo just get lost you moron.

I agree with what you are saying.

however, I think psychologists might not be a fan of giving them access to that material. I think the reason is because they would end up looking fore more and more extreme material and they could end up offending as a result of that
- Afaik we're still yet to find out whether viewing AI-generated material makes an individual look for real-life child abuse imagery.
  
  I believe viewing the latter allows many to keep real-life urges under control (might re-check materials on that), but it obviously comes with its own issues. If we can make AI generated child pornography, and if it doesn't make people go look for the "real stuff", we might actually make a very positive impact on child safety.

He used a web based stable diffusion to generate CP. Absolute genius level move 😂

Things to never say before committing a crime:

"Wait, let me sign in with my Google account first."
- Our legal system basically relies on the fact that criminals are that stupid.
- People have been caught making bomb threats using their own phones. Some people are just not bright enough to be able to survive in this world.
  
  It's for people like them that you have to have signs everywhere that say things like, don't stick your hand in the crushy grindy place, this hot water is hot, and don't drink bleach you'll die.
You would be surprised how many absolutely idiotic Pedos are out there
- People in general really. Some of the stuff your average person does on the internet and their devices absolutely stumps me, and I'm not even that tech savvy.
- I really wouldn't be surprised. I've seen the average person, so many idiots.

They should become a Republican speaker. Then they'll get a TON of support from the Protect The Children crowd!

Or a pastor so the church can relocate them to a fresh batch of victims.

why the FUCK

Pedos are gonna pedo.

Jesus fuck

Blocking any/all users of the "it's just art" and the "no kids were actually used so it's not child pornography" crowds.

Christ, the comments just kept getting worse.

I mean for people that are providing a moral defense of this? Yeah, no, fuck them into the sun.

But from a legal perspective, that's kind of the problem isn't it? Because no kids are involved in the actual production of the images, this creates a huge legal question - isn't this constitutionally protected in countries that have Freedom of Expression/Speech?

I mean this is obviously vile and this person is a danger to children... but would this be illegal in the USA and Canada and other countries that have freedoms that make it very difficult to prosecute this kind of speech?

There's also the wrinkle that it's being made of real people. Not just that it's kids in general, but real, actual, specific kids. Most countries have some form of "use of likeness" protections, but that's essentially making this into a copyright dispute, and a pretty grey one at that.
- Not sure what laws the states or Canada have, but it's considered child pornography if it's a depiction of CSA, regardless of whether it's an adult acting, or cartoons, or AI. I suspect at least some states in the US have similar laws.
- I dont mind loli hentai but thats as far as im ok with the moment it looks real its a problem imo.
That's an extremely limited take on it that I would expect from Sunday rags. "I have made up my mind, and since I decide, I will simply make sure that nobody gets to discuss this."

Thanks, reddit, can you fuck off back there now?
- Sorry we're not interested in discussing child pornography as art, because we're not disgusting pedophile apologists.
  
  We aren't making sure no one discusses this, you can have your nuanced discussions about child pornography with other pedophiles and pedo apologists, you won't be having it with us.

Wtaf are these comments.

Go home you sick fucks.

It's worse than reddit up in here. At least the psychos calling AI CP "art" would be met with comments that would be upvoted even more, not down voted into the negatives.
- I’ve been reporting them. That shit can go back to Reddit where it’s encouraged.
- The lemmy.world instance is a strong proponent of this vibe I've found.
Pandora's box has been opened.
Disgusting to know just how many people are sad, disgusting pieces of shit. CSAM is CSAM, virtual or real. The distinction does not matter.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

"As a child psychiatrist, Tatum knew the damaging, long-lasting impact sexual exploitation has on the wellbeing of victimized children," said US Attorney Dena J.

The trial evidence cited by the government includes a secretly-made recording of a minor (a cousin) undressing and showering, and other videos of children participating in sex acts.

"Additionally, trial evidence also established that Tatum used AI to digitally alter clothed images of minors making them sexually explicit," prosecutors said.

"Specifically, trial evidence showed that Tatum used a web-based artificial intelligence application to alter images of clothed minors into child pornography."

In prepared remarks [PDF] delivered at a US Senate subcommittee hearing earlier this year, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, "GPT-4 is 82 percent less likely to respond to requests for disallowed content compared to GPT-3.5, and we use a robust combination of human and automated review processes to monitor for misuse.

A recent report from investigative organization Balkan Insight says groups like Thorn have been supporting CSAM detection legislation to make online content scanning compulsory in part because they provide that service.

The original article contains 457 words, the summary contains 177 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Would be good if we could use this for porn. It's better than anyone actually being in porn. If AI takes over then less people would be trafficked and in the porn industry
- What would help with sex trafficking is legalizing and regulating prostitution and destigmatizing it.

A bit sensationalist there - article states he'd videoed minors in sexual acts. Probably what got him his well deserved prison stint.

Though I must say, the AI part alone should be enough to rule him out of a career around kids!

I missed that paragraph when I skimmed the article. Thanks!

The trial evidence cited by the government includes a secretly-made recording of a minor (a cousin) undressing and showering, and other videos of children participating in sex acts.

Edit: also, I wondered how he got caught, but this was probably how.

I look forward to the inevitable news story about an inmate crushing his skull with an exercise weight.

Yeah but they won't report on that.
