Let's focus on trying to raise a mentally healthier generation and take mental illness more seriously, rather than banning / getting rid of all the things that might cause someone (let alone a teenager) to commit suicide (an infinite set).

Boiling the ocean type solutions are the same as doing nothing. A better solution would be to make creating such things very illegal and bring down the same wrath we do for CSAM.

There is no amount of "mental health" that can protect you against targeted bullying of that magnitude. I really wish we had a universe simulator so you could see how miserably you would fail to survive an environment like that.

Is it still art, if it cant offend anyone anymore?

If it afflicts the comfortable or comforts the afflicted, it's art. If it does both, it's Fine Art.

Most art is for communicating the sublime (i.e., the proverbial "ceremonial purposes" of archeology), not for something as base as comfort.

This is a justifiable worry, but there are two reasons we shouldn't accept it: 1. If there are easy nudes of _everyone_ then there are no nudes of anyone. Admittedly, this is going to take a bit to culturally sink in, but eventually a generated nude will have very little value outside of a perverts own personal desires. 2. "Think of the children" has always been a very poor argument used to artificially restrict the…

Together with fancy silicon chips, AI models and everything else that's being exported from the US , the world has to endure this puritanistic views export too.

American puritans are not the only group with a sensitivity toward nudity (and it’s rather small), it’s just the only one allowed to be a punching bag on Reddit.

It is impressive how much effort the human race is spending trying to prevent algorithms from generating pictures of naked people.

Teenage me would have gotten ahead of that game by making fake nudes of myself -- complete with an obscenely large dong, and getting those into the wild. LOL. Most likely illegal even when it's yourself, but still. And I doubt very much that I'd be the only one.

Wouldn't take too long before everyone realized that nudes were all fake.

I don’t see the issue; either you severely limit your model or you allow all forms of expression and give responsibility to the generator

The latter would be preferred by most, and is most aligned with individualism, but sadly that is not where we are as a society. There are an entire class of people who believe they know what is best for you, about nearly every subject matter, and wish to limit all aspects of technology, life, politics, etc, to suit their superior beliefs.

Somehow, in the last 50 years our society has simultaneously become the safest it has ever been, and the most afraid.

Who in power did Rembrandt afflict?

> Who in power did Rembrandt afflict? The Nightwatch was controversial because of its unconventional composition and departure from traditional Dutch painting conventions. His “Bathsheba at Her Bath” caused trouble too. Hendrickje received three summonses from the Reformed Church to answer the charge "that she had committed the acts of a whore with Rembrandt the painter". She admitted her guilt and was banned from re…

They should go back to having arbitrary and tightly held beliefs about how paintings should be so that nice things can be fine art again.
