These arguments aren't mine. You're attempting to colour my words by associating them with someone else's who they apparently "sound like."
> Real images are more concerning because it means real people were harmed in the real world.
Yes, they are. I hope real images of abuse are treated with the gravity they deserve.

Yes, many of the things we achieve with me technology could previously have been achieved with more effort using earlier technologies. Airplanes are still world changing, though, even thick we already had cars.
> Banning AI doesn't solve the problem.
This is a strawman.
> Additionally, you implied that I am exhibiting some sort of Hacker News group think, I am not.
I simply meant that HN is a predominantly male space and that men are less likely to be victims of faked pornography, so the discussion here will inevitably take a more detached and theoretical point of view on these matters than if potential victims were more included in the conversion.
