Well, this just got darker.

    Just to be clear, are you saying that people should be investigated by the police for fictional stories that they read?

      I mean, if those stories were made by their prompts and about having sex with children then maybe 🤷‍♂️

      I know we need to draw a line about what police can do with that sort of info so it’s not abused, but these people are still sick fucks.

        Now that devices are starting to have built in features with AI automatically combing through all information on them, the idea of this sort of stuff being logged in the first place is concerning.

        For instance, should someone prompting an AI to describe them beating up and torturing their boss be flagged for “potentially violent tendencies”? Who decides the “limit” where “privacy” no longer applies and stuff should be flagged, logged and sent off to authorities?

        As I see it, the real issue is people being hurt, not text or fictive materials, however sickening they might be.

        If the resources invested in spying on people and making databases were instead directed towards funding robust and publicly available psychiatric care I expect that’d be more efficient.

        A bit off topic but there is never a line. Once the government has your info, any of your info, it WILL be abused.

      No, I am saying that sharing fantasies about underage children with a shady and poorly designed AI porn site, shows a serious lack of judgement and impulse control.

      For that reason, yeah, they probably deserve having a quick review of their life to make sure that’s the only poor choice they’ve made in regards to that particular fantasy.

      And they weren’t just reading, they were prompting the LLM model to generate these specific fantasies. They didn’t just come across a fucked up website and read a few forum posts.

        If we investigated everyone with poor impulse control, we’d be investigating 80% of the world.

        I’m just saying, police investigation of fiction creators and readers for the content of their fiction is way over the line of a lot of social and political norms.

        (Also, I think you’ll find that police abuse children a lot more than pervy fiction fans do; so really, who should be investigating whom? Investigation into crime is supposed to start with evidence that a crime actually occurred — not with your personal disgust towards someone’s reading matter.)

          You’re really going to great lengths to ignore what I’ve been saying, and instead responding to whatever strawman you find most convenient.

          Now you’ve moved onto, “why should police investigate pedophiles, when they are the real pedophiles. In fact, the pedophile fantasy users of the site should be investigating the police”.

          I mean, do you even hear yourself?

            I hate torture-porn movies like the Saw series, but a lot of people are fans of them. Should I worry that those people are likely to commit kidnapping, torture, and murder? Should I advocate that the makers or watchers of those movies be investigated for kidnapping, torture, and murder — without any evidence that a crime was committed?

            We don’t send the cops after people for liking murder stories, theft stories, industrial sabotage stories, or treason stories. We shouldn’t send the cops after people for liking stories of Harry Potter getting fucked by Severus Snape either.

            I think you should be more careful to distinguish fantasy from reality. Most fiction readers and writers have no problem doing so.

              Strawman, strawman, strawman.

              Even when I reiterate that we’re not talking about passive consumption of media, but active participation in something else entirely, you can’t help but ignore that, and continue lobbing out fallacy after fallacy.

              Maybe you should reread my original comments, and see why your comments have been so pointless, bordering on disingenuous.

                So you’re into sending the police after the writers, directors, and producers of the Saw movies, but not the audiences?

                I dunno man, that’s still too fascist for my tastes, but you can keep fantasizing about it. I promise I won’t try to send the police after you for your perverted fantasies of state power.
