>The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it's just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture "This is a pipe", I'd have been lying! —René Magritte

>Which means a LOT of scrutiny will be put under those pictures, because some people WILL definetely use illegal material for the dataset and/or use it to produce very realistic pictures of child celebrities. It only takes one politician making a "think of the children" argument to turn it into a no-win situation
Actual abuse material is illegal, though. It wouldn't be worth anyone's time to actually integrate such abuse material into the dataset, nor would it be worth their time to create realistic depictions of identifiable minors since both of those acts carry with it the risk of prosecution.

As I said before, AI can be identified very easily just by studying the image.

Ultimately, whether or not a legal and non-abusive image of a real child was used in the dataset isn't of much legal concern if the output is so distinct from the source material. Keep in mind that within the LAION-5B dataset also lies a shitload of legal 3DCG images, moreso than legal images of children.

It's about whether a real child was sexually exploited for the image to exist. Whether or not such AI-generated images could exist without that fact is where a strong argument lies, because a depiction of a fictional character where no real child was involved is as much a depiction of a child as a petite/youthful adult actor who had their appearance modified to appear childlike playing the role of a child character is.

Unironically my favourite painting

This isn't a pipe
The word isn't the thing
The map is not the territory
A drawing isn't a person

A pedophile is someone who's attracted to children, not someone who's attracted to drawings, dolls, books or statues. Only a brainlet with 0 understanding of philosophy of art would claim that shotacon and lolicon are pedophilia.

I studied cave art for Art History at university, and it's actually really interesting, because the idea of converting the image of a live animal to a two-dimensional picture on a cave wall requires a massive cognitive leap and a tremendous amount of abstract thinking that we take for granted today -- in fact, today almost anyone can be shown a picture of a bear, and if asked they do not answer "this is a picture of a bear" they answer "this is a bear" (provided it is not so poorly drawn as to be unrecogniseable.)

The first people the draw, or sculpt, anything in the image of anything else were revolutionaries who utterly changed the way we as human beings think. And I think that's fascinating.

BECAUSE IT GETS THE CONVERSATION GOING ABOUT HOW EXACTLY A WOMAN'S REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS CONSTITUTE A THREAT TO A SOCIETY'S MORES AND HOW THAT REFLECTS BACK ON WHETHER OR NOT IT IS SHAMEFUL TO SEE A PUSSY WHERE NO PUSSY IS ACTUALLY SHOWN AND WHO SHOULD BE ASHAMED, IF AT ALL.

>It's a half smile because Da Vinci literally drew a half smile.
And that's a part of the communication. He didn't draw a smile. He painted various hues and values that you interpret as a smile.
It's all about perception and interpretation. Some people want to go beyond that. Looking to evoke emotion and thought in other ways.

Just look at Picasso's bull abstraction. It challenges representation to its most base form. You really should study it more. It's not about being intentionally obtuse. It's about trying to look for different ways to share a vision. If you prefer straight representative art, that's great, but there's no objective measure to what you can and should do with art.
