A Florida man is facing 20 counts of obscenity for allegedly creating and distributing AI-generated child pornography, highlighting the danger and ubiquity of generative AI being used for nefarious reasons.

Phillip Michael McCorkle was arrested last week while he was working at a movie theater in Vero Beach, Florida, according to TV station CBS 12 News. A crew from the TV station captured the arrest, which made for dramatic video footage due to law enforcement leading away the uniform-wearing McCorkle from the theater in handcuffs.

    I’m not suggesting they’ll abandon the rule of law. I’m suggesting they’ll use this as precedent to legally oppress us.

        Which is a terrible excuse for allowing bad laws. Sure, ok, let’s assume you’re right and this specific group will break the law anyway. Maybe let’s prepare for other tyrannical groups?

          Other tyrannical groups that also won’t follow the law? I don’t think laws will “prepare” for those either.
