How do you stop people from making deepfakes and sharing them on decentralized or end to end encrypted chats that are easy for anyone to use? Facebook bans sharing copyright movies, and yet every teenager can share them anyway. Also doing this is even perfectly legal in some countries we share the internet with. It is -impossible- to to deploy universal censorship without shutting the internet down.
Do you really suggest we abolish the right to privacy and anonymous speech in order to support the type of universal censorship you propose?

I find it incredibly illuminating that upon asking me how we should go about doing the thing you challenged me to do, you engaged with none of it and instead descended even further into niche technology to try and make it seem like, because it's technically possible, we shouldn't even attempt to regulate it.
No, we can't stop people sharing it over encrypted channels. What we can do is mandate that these AI include identification data in their generated images, which is tied to a singular person. And from there, we can identify and prosecute the creator, and through court orders to whatever platform holder is at play, get a list of everyone who downloaded it and shared it.
We do this shit constantly for major rights holders. We know how. We just choose not to because too many people think it's "just boys being boys" and enable a culture that thinks sex offenses aren't worth our time.
I'm glad you asked!
Step 1: Anyone who uses any media, be it watercolors or generative AI, to create pornographic content of a minor should go to a LOT of prison and be registered as a sex offender.
Step 2: Educate children on these tools, what they may be used for, what they may not be used for, and illustrate vividly the extreme consequences thereof.
Step 3: When it inevitably happens anyway, enforce those consequences. The offender needs to go away for a long time, and be subject to rehabilitation programs to re-enter society. They should be treated as any other sex offender would, because that's what they are. Their age does not change their crime.
Step 3.5: Support the victim. Make it abundantly clear that anyone possessing this material any further will be subject to less severe certainly, but still severe consequences. It is to be deleted, to the maximum extent possible, from the maximum number of places possible.
Step 4: Any platform that permits this content to be distributed upon it should also be subjected to extremely steep fines and if the issue persists, seizure by the appropriate authorities. And frankly this should be expanded to all CAM, regardless of origin. Don't wanna regulate it, or feel you can't enforce this? Then shut down. Nobody asked you to to build a website and if you can't keep CP off your website, then your website doesn't need to exist, full stop.
Step 5: At this exact moment, begin changing how these generative tools are constructed. Make sure they only use training materials that are properly licensed and given over by their subjects and creators. If a given AI contains the ability to generate pornographic material, then it's distribution should also, in turn, be regulated as pornography already is. Yes, that will be probably be just as ineffective as it is for regular pornography. No, that is not an excuse to not do it. A tool that can make pornography on demand is indistinguishable from pornography.
And yes I am certain all of this will stifle innovation in the AI space. I don't care. Frankly if this kills it off entirely I think that's an unmitigated win.
