Philosophy Question TimeSubmitted 1 hour ago by psycotica0@lemmy.ca to [deleted]
Okay, so if a bot uses AI to generate shitty grainy unflattering dick-pics and send those unsolicited to people, is that still wrong?
To receive a picture (pic) of a dick that never was, attached to a man that could never harm you, as but a figment of the bits? In the absence of implication?
I mean, ignoring whatever ethics you feel about the generation of AI images in general…
Maybe I’m too sleepy… 😴
Yes, sexual harassment is unethical.
Sending unsolicited dick pics breaks concent to the receiving party and is therefore bad. Does not matter if it’s a real dic a drawn dick or an ai dick. It breaks concent.
I agree with you, but this also raises an interesting question. Personally, I wouldn’t consider it a consent issue if someone sent the usual “two circles and an oval” ‘dick’ drawing, or an eggplant emoji… Rude and crass, maybe, but not any more of a consent issue than sending any other non-sexual unsolicited pic would be, which suggests that there’s a level of caricature and lack of fidelity in which it’s okay… I wonder where that line is?

If it’s offensive it’s still wrong. It’s not the pixels, it’s how it makes the recipient feel regardless of whether it’s an image of a real subject.
