A note on the page warns, “Shutterstock does not review AI-generated content for compliance with Shutterstock’s content compliance standards.” Adding that users must not generate imagery that is “false, misleading, deceptive, harmful, or violent.”

"Pls don't be bad mmkay?"

I'm curious what they call disturbing, but also don't want to see in case they're right.

The article doesn't mention nudity but what they described is still pretty fucked.

I think it really depends on what "young girl" means in this context. The title says "children", but nowhere in the article does it say that. So I'm unsure if this is another AI-boogyman article, or something else.

A “young girl” would be a “child,” And multiple young girls would be children. 🤨

Theres a link below of a "you g girl" on the toilet.

It appears to be a young adult, clothed, using a toilet as a seat. Idk why it's labeled the way it is, it's really weird.

However , that somewhat dilutes the notion that that means children on this site.

[-] Just_Pizza_Crust@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

That's pure speculation on your part.

Like another person said, the "young girl" on the toilet looks to be a woman well into her 20s.

This may be controversial, but I don't care what kind of AI-generated images people create as long as it's obvious they're not reality. Where I worry is the creation of believable false narratives, from explicit deepfakes of real people to completely fictional newsworthy events.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 6 months ago

I agree here. Im not worried about imaginary things except for their ability to appear like actual things and mess with truth.

I've read that pedophiles are more likely to act out on their urges if they have access to real images. I would guess that this also applies for ai generated images too, even if they don't look 100% real, but I could be wrong on that. Whatever stops them from abusing kids is what I'm for.

[-] Zak@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I want to say research on the subject has been inconclusive overall. I'd certainly update my view given convincing evidence that fictional images lead to abuse of real children.

Of course, none of that has anything to do with the non-explicit video linked elsewhere in this thread of an adult woman using the toilet.

There's some pretty weird stuff on there, like kids taking a bath and someone on the toilet: https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-26807341-woman-sitting-on-toilet-bathroom-young-girl

Please, the Catholic church are heroes

Edit: wow, didn't think I needed the /s since I was directly linking the Catholic church with pedophilia
