Pedophiles who are using Artificial Intelligence to generate child pornography. These images are being shared through content subscription platforms such as Patreon, causing a community of pedophiles to access this content generated using AI applications to create images.
Patreon has made it clear that there will be no tolerance towards these accounts and behaviors. It has been thanks to an investigation carried out by the BBC that these accounts and behaviors have come to light. The tool used to create these images of child sexual abuse is one of the most popular today.
Stable Diffusion is the tool used to create these images.. The investigation has come to the conclusion that Stable Diffusion has been used to generate these realistic images of sexual abuse of minors. It is a situation that raises all alarm bells regarding the use of AI.
Creating images through phrases is a double-edged sword. The BBC reports that Stable Diffusion has allowed the creation of these images in a systematic way. Pedophiles have only had to describe the situations they want to recreate, making it extremely easy to generate this type of content.

These images are already being investigated in the United Kingdom. The authorities are aware of the situation and have issued actions both to put an end to these images and to be able to bring these people to justice. These images of child pornography, although virtual, will be treated as real despite being generated by AI since it is an extremely serious case.
UK authorities will treat AI images as if they were taken of real minors. The reason behind this is to lay a foundation for this type of action and hope that it will not happen again. In addition, behind the creation of these images, a network of pedophiles has been generated who are willing to pay to consume this content.
The big problem with Artificial Intelligence is its lack of humanity. AI has been postulated as one of the great revolutions of this century and, in fact, many experts consider it the most relevant technological movement today. This does not mean that it is free of problems, being its absolute freedom of use the biggest of them all.
