i remember the good old days, when you had to use scissors to physically cut a head out of a photo, and then glue it to your porno mag
- we must ban scissors they're too dangerous.
  
  Fun fact, there was actually a UK judge that seriously called for points to be taken off of all kitchen knives to prevent stabbings.
- when you had to
  
  Everyone HAD to do it. ✂️
- Checkmate, I called the police.
And where is the evidence? Asking for a friend.
I don't get the AI-porn hate.
- Teens use it to generate porn with real classmates.
  
  that is not an argument against AI. We didn't ban photoshop because people did face swaps.
  
  Teens have been making fake porn for ever. Photoshop someones head on another body. Cut a classmates photo and tape to a magazine centre fold. Before everyone gets their pitchforks, I'm not saying this is not harmful to the victims or that their should not be consequences for sexual harassment. This is just another tool.
  
  They are doing it anyway. It's a plus if they learn one thing or two while doing it
It’s been forever since I’ve been to 4chan… I’m almost afraid to check out /b/
- Porn porn porn porn porn porn porn racism porn. Same as its always been. Maybe more porn now.
- I checked it out as I was curious. First post was "I sleep with my sister, AMA" and then an AI porn thread with guides and very dangerous lolicon porn.
  
  Do not check it out
  
  Lol dangerous?
but was unable to reproduce those images in my testing

I bet they worked hard at this...
