The amount of people here claiming that using an AI tool to create an image or video that can be shared, and that privately fantasizing inside your own mind, are equivalent, is boggling to me. Your fantasy-brain isn't hooked up to the internet where everything can be saved and reuploaded indefinitely. Personally I feel like I have the right not to appear in pornography produced by a computer that can be diffused worldwide. Privately made or otherwise. The other person's right to fantasy ends at the border of their skull. This is not an economics question, it is an ethics question.


I disagree. You can’t dictate which tools someone should [not] use to amplify fantasy if it doesn’t affect you. Tbh that “right to fantasy ends at the border of their skull” sounds too oppressive to appeal to ethics.


It absolutely would affect you if that imagery is disseminated through any means capable of being seen by anyone you ever know or meet. It is oppressive because it requires you to allow others to exist with the same right. To me this is a facet of the right to privacy.


So distribution is what affects you and that is wrong, I agree with that.
