I don’t understand why using AI is what makes this illegal. I don’t know the laws in Spain, but would it be illegal if they used a pencil or a paint brush? Seems like a weird line to draw if not.

The minors were charged with 20 counts of creating child sex abuse images and 20 counts of offenses against their victims’ moral integrity. The article doesn’t make the claim that the AI is what makes it illegal, simply that AI was used. It’s literally the second sentence.

As far as I understand; it’s not the tools used that makes this illegal, but the realism/accuracy of the final product regardless of how it was produced.

If you were to have a high proficiency with manual Photoshop and produced similar quality fakes, you’d be committing the same crime(s)

creating child sex abuse images

and

offenses against their victims’ moral integrity

The thing is, AI tools are becoming more and more accessible to teens. Time, effort, and skill are no longer roadblocks to creating these images; which leaves very very little in an irresponsible teenagers way…

  Which still seems kinda dumb. How realistic is too realistic?

    Did… Did you just ask; why creating photo-realistic sexually explicit material of real children, should be illegal?

    Keep in mind these were other kids their age. We’re not talking about pedo stuff here.
