    That mascot is a child. Please don’t make porn of fictional children even if you disagree with the politics or religion of that fictional child you’re making porn out of. Child porn is a bad thing

      If she’s drawn as an adult like the pucture used for the pist I don’t think it would be a problem anymore, you can’t really lock down a fictional character’s age it just comes down to features their drawn with and I guess if someone feels the need to go out of thier way to give an age

        Doesn’t matter. It is a depiction of a child. The “Oh it’s actually a 10 billion year old dragon, she just looks and acts like she’s 8” is not a credible defense. And don’t pull “that’s not what I said or am implying”, regardless it’s an image of a child no matter how you try spinning it, real or not. CP is CP.

          I’m not going to come up with a justification either way because really I don’t care, but it’s probably not a good idea to label everything as CP, unless it actually is.

          Is it a child? What age are they? I couldn’t find it anywhere. Looking at the official image it’s hard to say. She could be 7 or 30. The Internet is going to Internet.

          But this “CP is CP” thing is a little odd. I mean without knowing her age you’re just assuming. The C in CP is child, are they a child or are you just upset that you think they kinda look like one? It’s also way weird, she’s not real. Do you get upset about anime dogs being killed? Do you get upset about violence in anime? I mean what if it is some old being in a young body? Isn’t CP wrong because they don’t know better and are helpless victims to the F’d up thing. That’s not the case here. I’m honestly just confused.

            Your implying, that so long as information can’t be validated and the image can’t be verified as a real person it’s ok. Cool, all you need is a filter and CP is fine!? Pictures of hate crimes are cool because it’s just a picture?

            What I find weird is the number of people in Lemmy who are trying to define a grey line when it’s CP and when it’s not. Reddit had a very real problem with CP and starting to think Lemmy very much does.

              Is it? You keep saying it’s a child, I’m trying to stay objective, is it? Pictures of real hate crimes are bad. But plenty of shows and movies depict hate crimes and you don’t seem to be fighting that fight, seems like inconsistent morals.

              Yes yes, I get it, you’re against CP, I am too. My point is this isn’t CP, this isn’t a child. This is a make believe spiritual being that you think looks like a child. Hell in the pic shown she clearly isn’t a child. I mean if you take a kid and draw a picture of what you think they’d look like as an adult is that CP? The pic isn’t a child. I mean, honest question.

              Don’t you instantly lose any kind of validity with that comment?

              You are laying down the law, you are saying what is, and is not true,with no basis to reality or logic or reason. You are just saying what you say is true, and you cannot be argued with. You don’t see how fundamentally messed up that is how completely insane you sound?

              You’re upset about a drawing. A drawing that isn’t even of a real thing.

              You are upset about someone’s imagination and then further upset by your interpretation of the drawing of their imagination.

        I agree. Its always a tough stance. Its like ultimately I want nazis to be able to speak freely as long as they don’t actually do the stuff they spout. As far as im concerned when you try to ban stuff not in reality you are in the realm of trying to ban thought.

          I mean, Japan has had csam cartoons for decades. They have a lower CSA rate compared to the USA. Not saying it’s totally related, but it doesn’t seem like if someone has access to cartoon csam they will normalize it and do it in real life.

            Cartoon csam has been legal in Japan for decades. They have a lower CSA per Capita than the USA.

            There are some brain studies that show the area of the brain that is responsible for caring for children is butt up next to the part of the brain that is responsible for sexual pleasures. The study suggests that there might be a misfiring of the synapse between the different sides of the brain that might cause someone to be a pedo. These people don’t experience sexual pleasures without thinking about kids. It’s literally a disability.

            My opinion is that we don’t know if removing AI generated csam would make things worse for real life kids or not. But flat out banning it without proper research would be irresponsible.

            A: all models are trained on something

            2, you’re building your own straw man here. You’ve set up an extremely narrow condition under which this particular type of pedophilia is acceptable. Prove to me that that’s the norm, that it’s a typical use scenario, and that people looking at that crap are exclusively looking at loli, and not images meant to look like real people, and there’s a debate to be had there. But if you think any of that is true you’re lying to yourself. Sexualization of others is not going to happen in a vacuum under sterile conditions, it’s going to bleed in to real life.

              Prove to me that removing this will not bleed into real life even more than it is not? You can’t either.

              What I can prove is that Japan has csam cartoons for decades and they have less CSA per Capita than the USA. Is it possible that the Japanese know something we don’t? Who knows.

              Can you prove to me that the AI trained models were done with real csam materials? If so, not reporting this to the FBI seems irresponsible.

              Generative models does not work like that, if it were so, how do you explain that I can generate a picture of a purple six legged cat throwing lasers from the eyes in space?

              In a very very very simplified way, the models are trained that from noise it de noises it until the image is “restored”. A part of the model learns to remove noise until a drawing of a child is restored, another learns to restore the image of a drawing of a nude woman. Basically you say to the model that from noise it has to restore the drawing of a nude child it combines the two proceses (also it is trained to combine things in a way that makes sense).

        The “kink” you are picking is drawn child porn. I don’t care if nobody was directly hurt by your consumption of drawn child porn you are consuming child porn. You are a pedophile. Somebody attracted to children sexually.

        I don’t care if studies showing pedophiles who watch drawn child porn aren’t likely to offend. They are pedophiles. I know it’s a wild thing to state but I don’t like pedophiles. The debate on legality due to harm reduction is another thing all-together but at no point did I bring that up. I only asked that we not support or make AI porn of fictional children.

        Your support of a subset of child porn, particularly AI and drawn is noted though. Thank you for stating as much.

          They are pedophiles. I know it’s a wild thing to state but I don’t like pedophiles.

          This makes sense and all, but a pedophile who hasn’t harmed a child hasn’t caused any harm. These people have a disorder that should be treated, but this isn’t always easy. If this can give them some outlet that prevents any actual harm being done to children, then that can easily be argued to be a net positive.

          I prefer these people jack off to AI porn over real child porn or worse, them turning to actual sexual abuse of children. What’s wrong with preventing child abuse?

            I would agree if we see some meta-analysis suggesting this but the evidence is small towards the effect. The studies you state in other comments are inconclusive, are not the majority, and only show mild effects. This is not scientific fact yet and all evidence shows a mild effect at best.

            Even if it did though they are still a pedophile. They are masturbating to child porn. We should not accept that as a positive thing and we should not support people who make child porn. These are the people who need to seek help most. If part of that help is jacking it to drawn child porn so be it but be it so under the care of a professional.

            The fact that one doesn’t offend only stops one from being a monster. A child molester, or child rapist. A pedophile is still immoral.

            My issue is that child porn is inherently wrong. It is a fundamental negative whether drawn or generated. Some things are not about material harm they are about base morality. Sexualizing children is a fundamental wrong.

            If the only thing stopping you from raping, molesting, or otherwise harming a child is drawn child porn you are not a good person. That is terrifying, and disgusting.

            Lastly, our brains are neuroplastic. Anyone can develop a fetish through constant exposure to something in a positive sexual setting. Something may disgust you, say poop, but if you jack off to the thought long enough you will develop a fetish. This, unlike the claim that drawn child porn is helpful, is well known. Harm to children or not this creates more pedophiles. People who think of children in a sexual manner

              No sane person is denying what you’re saying. With a Children of my own, I want to do anything and everything possible to protect them.

              That said, there are research that people who consume cartoon csam that haven’t done real life abuse. They have a problem. Taking away something that doesn’t hurt anyone might not improve our protection of our children, but make things worse.

        The feds define it as:

        Any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a person less than 18 years old

        Visual depiction includes cartoons.

        Don’t argue with me, call the feds and debate it with them. Maybe give them your hard drive, too. That’s probably better for everyone.

        I shouldn’t need to define child porn but here’s a definition:
        Sexually gratifying content involving the sexualization of children.

        This fictional child is a child. Porn of that child is child porn. Drawn, generated, or any other way this is child porn.

        I’ve heard the “it’s just pixels” argument before and can’t accept that. If we can recognize that the pixels are pornographic, that they represent the character lucy, and that lucy is a child we can agree that this is porn of a child. Child porn.

        How does this not match the term “child porn”.

        It is drawn porn of a child

            Holy shit man what the fuck are you on about.

            If somebody jacks off to the thought of a child they are a pedophile. Yes.

            The cartoon has a childs proportions. It has a childs body. The creator has defined it as a child. You are unironically doing the “it’s a thousand year old dragon” shit.

            You are a danger to the kids you claim to have. Do you jack off to the thought of their naked bodies? Do you think that would be ok to do? If you do nothing to harm them directly by your own reasoning it would be ok right?

            No. That is abhorent. Please get professional help

              No I don’t jerk off to kids. I am approaching this mental health issue with an open mind and not emotionally like some people here.

              As someone who suffers from a different mental issue, unrelated to pedos, you have to understand that people with a disability don’t want to do some of the things they are doing.

              Pedos know they have a mental illness. They don’t want to do the things they are doing. If watching and consuming AI cartoon csam keeps them from acting out their urges in real life then yes please do that. Seek help at the same time.

              I can’t guarantee that keeping AI cartoon csam will reduce CSA. But you can’t guarantee removing it can either. So let’s all have an adult conversation here.

    5 minutes after the Vatican presented her, there was already porn. Some say even earlier.

    Googling “Luce porn” immediately surfaced sites where people are posting what appears to be handmade images of exactly that (click at your own risk), but searching Civitai specifically, a site which makes AI-generating porn of anyone and anything extremely easy, turned up the real motherlode.

    I gotta say, the choice to write this article itself is questionable. It’s obvious this stuff would exist to anyone familiar with the internet, but describing the images in lurid detail and saying exactly how to get them complete with direct links, kinda sus.

      civitai kinda reminds me of the old cga forums that would allow artists to post their works for members to rank.

      tbh most of what I saw from artists were memes or wholesome drawings, compared to something like a video game character getting announced.

    Remember kids! Jesus was best friends with a prostitute. This is in fact something God and Jesus would approve of…probably. If she’s the kind of lady who’s down with Jesus and only does stuff with other ladies when a guy is also involved, then I think Jesus and God would be cool with her.

    Hmm.

    While none of these models were explicitly tagged NSFW that I noticed, and don’t bill themselves with NSFW images, Pony Diffusion is trained on NSFW images and thus brings that knowledge to derived models. It can understand Danbooru tags, which include a fair number of sexual acts, sexual poses, fetish clothing, sex toys, and suchlike.

    I’d also assume that if Luce catches on, general models not specifically intended for generating images of Luce will also learn what Luce looks like as images containing Luce make their way into their training corpuses; that would presumably include NSFW general models.

    EDIT: No, I take it back. This Pony-Diffusion-based model, this, and this one do use NSFW images in their example image list if one cycles through the whole list of images. It may have been hidden before, as I was checking the site anonymously, and I believe the civitai default is to hide NSFW content. Also, this model has some suspiciously well-endowed Luce images in its example image list, and this model doesn’t have nudity in its example images, but does have Luce flipping the viewer the bird in an example image, which I imagine is probably sacrilegious.

          Even the name matches. Best of all, this Luce is an interrogator working for the inquisition. This is just next level irony. 🤣

        See now, I like this even though her armor is dangerous. Because she’s clearly all grown up, fully clothed, empowered af, and sexy.

      As someone not logged in or with an account I keep getting

      These images hidden for mature content settings

      From swiping through those thumbnails so… I’m taking they are able to generate some NSFW images just fine.

      Honestly who is using AI generation for anything but that? I’ve only heard about fursonas and D&D stuff as well but let’s be honest roleplay was secondary use of that dungeon too.

          No thanks!

          Edit: sorry don’t mean to be that dismissive and I get there are more uses sure. But I’m also just not interested in AI “artwork” or legitimizing it.

    The Vatican is angry. They lost their porn mascot. Because, come on, it was always meant to attract vulnerable children to priests.
