Law Man in Florida arrested for creating Child porn through AI prompts

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.

he investigation kicked off after Indian River County Sheriff's Office received tips that McCorkle was prompting an AI image generator to make child sexual imagery and distributing it via the social media app Kik.

McCorkle's arrest was part of a county operation taking down people possessing child pornography, but the generative AI wrinkle in this particular arrest shows how technology is generating new avenues for crime and child abuse.

he got arrested for making ai child porn. that's something i can never be arrested for, since i am not a pedo and would never do that.

You can be arrested for things you post here

map rights, right? neck now don't wait

"MaPs" don't deserve rights

I was more referring to selective outrage surrounding pedophilia

I hope you get gang raped by niggers

I would normally agree, but in this sort of case I think there is a pretty valid logic to treat it as real unlike say chinese cartoons or blender models.

Based on what?

AI generated stuff is coming very close to looking real. With enough time and effort put on carefully wording and building your prompts you can create seamlessly perfect pictures indistinguishable from the real stuff

But it still ISNT real.

I can prompt Ai to write a fictional plot about killing Kamala Harris. Should this be an arresable offense, just because it SOUNDS real?

Doing so with children to create pretend CSAM as such presents a problem in that because it looks so real it makes people think a actual child was hurt. It takes away resources to investigate it, supplies the demand to pedos who look for it. And once caught the pedophile will claim "it's not real" and try and get a expensive and lengthy examination to prove or disprove it's authenticity.

thats what the legal system is for, though

Treating it as real CP not only encourages them to not try and make anything photorealistic, it also ensures that no pedo will ever try and get out of a sure conviction by claiming that "akshually those 16tb of child porn are all AI generated and you can't arrest me for that".

An analyst can determine if something is real or not.

Arresting someone for a crime with no victims or something that didn't happen is not good, it's a slippery slope.

If this guy can be arrested for pictures of child abuse that never occured, everyone here can be arrested for typing out criminal activities that never happened

People in Europe ARE being arrested for such things

Someone can go to a schools website, pick a child that’s been posted, and have AI porn of them in seconds. Children have already committed suicide over this. Little kids unironically cyber-raped. Allowing this has been proven ad naseum to create the demand which continues the torture of real IRL kids. These people are fucking pathological, they don’t even compare to general rapists, shut the fuck up.

so then ban AI, don't put your kids pictures on the internet, etc.

we create an environment that offers up children as prey on a consistent basis. Arresting guys that imagine fucking kids will do absolutely nothing to fix the problem

What are your solutions to actually stop the pedo epidemic?

 

[Equal Rights for Androids]

Back to the subject at hand, I did a literal 2 minute inquiry for an online image generator, and used the prompt "two kids playing at the beach", and created this abomination...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. When I input that into an AI art generator I get things like this


Clothed children.
No matter what AI generator I run it through, they're always clothed. What AI generator are you using? Cuz I don't believe you
I'm guessing it was DALLE 1 from the telltale way it mashes anatomy together, which in that case

 

[frozen_runner]

AI is trained on real content, then when requested spits out a blend of everything in the dataset, matching the requested output.

You're a retard that doesn't know how AI works.

This is not strictly true.

You can almost certainly Frankenstein any image together using the correct LORAs, inpainting, seed images (or whatever that's called, where you copy details from one image to another) and enough prompt generations as well as the correct models. Think of it as Photoshopping a picture's details to get exactly what you want instead of what's actually in the dataset. (Actually, Photoshopping would be much easier and faster if you know what you're doing.) Basically, you would be stitching details together from images in the dataset to get something different.

Or you could train a model on illegal images, I guess. No idea which this guy did. Though I do not have the faith in law enforcement to assume there was a real victim at any point in the image generation process.

the generative AI wrinkle in this particular arrest shows how technology is generating new avenues for crime and child abuse.

LOL

I hate these retards so much they will try and use the fact that pedos can create CP with AI to attack FOSS AI.

This is all a problem of a society with rotten institutions and Jewish pedophile blackmail rings.
Death penalty for financing, distributing and producing CSAM is what is lacking.

Why is Les Wexner still alive?

 

[Not Really Here]

Or you could train a model on illegal images, I guess. No idea which this guy did.

A 2023 study from Stanford University also revealed that hundreds of child sex abuse images were found in widely-used generative AI image data sets.

Basically, you would be stitching details together from images in the dataset to get something different.

That's what I said, but in more words.

Though I do not have the faith in law enforcement to assume there was a real victim at any point in the image generation process.

"real victim" isn't required in the law, the realistic depiction is illegal. This isn't complicated, the higher you go in the court system, the less they care. The fact the tools change don't matter, the product is criminalized.

SCOTUS literally quoted Shakespeare's "A rose by any other name" in the last session case McElrath v. Georgia on Georgia's attempt to violate double jeopardy by renaming it. The thing is the thing is the thing-no matter what you call it, and it's illegal.

 

[Blacklight]

The biggest issue I can see coming from this is the fact we're going to have a room of near-deads and boomers who still fall for Nigerian Prince scams deciding the direction of where technology is going.

Our current law making infrastructure is woefully underprepared for the rapid changing in technology.

 

[Hiccup Scream]

Arresting someone for a crime with no victims

The victim is society,

be arrested for pictures

he was arrested for distribution, which seems to be going over everyones head. Had he just kept his depravity to himself the state would have no way of knowing his actions. By contributing to the supply he is guilty of harming society and polluting the future.

What are your solutions to actually stop the pedo epidemic?

Kill all the stupid ones without exception so the smart ones learn to not repress their vileness is a death sentence.

 

[Suel Forrester]

The victim is society,

if you look around, you will see that, while this should be a crime, it very much isnt

hmmm, valid point but shouldnt we be catching people who harm actual children instead? i mean...priorities?

Well, we caught this one, so this one gets the hammer. Easy

 

[Suel Forrester]

Well, we caught this one, so this one gets the hammer. Easy

yes. we should go after the crimes with no victims.

that surely isnt a sign of a retarded society

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Well, we caught this one, so this one gets the hammer. Easy

I do not agree with Suel, but the reason lolicon/shotacon stuff does not get widely prosecuted is because law enforcement and DAs do not want to pursue it when crimes against real children are happening. The FBI and so on have so many cases of real abuse that cartoon depictions aren't worth the resources. This Florida guy got in trouble because he was so brazen about it and made his arrest and prosecution a layup.

There are federal and local statutes for cartoon/AI porn, but they are not prosecuted regularly for the aforementioned reasons.

 

[Carmen The Aids Rabbit]

Reading this thread has been surreal to say the least. Im sorry, but you gotta be a gigantic retard, faggot or retarded faggot to not react with even a hint of anger and disgust at AI cp or loli.
The pedo defense force and their arguments here reek of ulterior motives and I don't trust a single word about what these faggots are saying about muh freedom of speech or setting a precedent. Every comment from lolifags so far seem to be "if this becomes illegal they might come for me next or worse, look at my hard-drive".

If you get off to kids you deserve to be lined up against the wall, it's amazing to me how this is now considered controversial but here we are.

its not retardation necessarily, this stuff is normal and mainstream now. people are more...beat down by it

The pedo defense force and their arguments here reek of ulterior motives and I don't trust a single word about what these faggots are saying about muh freedom of speech or setting a precedent.

as someone on a site with rampant "hAtE sPeeCh", you probably should. the idea that the hooknoses wont come after you too for wrongthink and victimless crimes is retarded, and i will simply laugh my ass off when they do tbh

Every comment from lolifags so far seem to be "if this becomes illegal they might come for me next or worse, look at my hard-drive".

im not sure sure its "lolifags", lolifags tend to do this over compensating thing where they advocate extreme and illogical reactions and punishments for the crime they commit

there was that one serial killer guy who did that as well, cant remember the name

when being against pedophilia become fully illegal in the west, will you be ok with prosecution for victimless crimes then?

there is a reason theyre not going after actual predators

you legit think you will not be a target for the victimless stuff posted on this very website? youre a faggot lol

what worries me is governments having power to prosecute someone for victimless crimes, or thoughts, no matter what they are. everyone who posts here is a target, some more than others im sure, but i know personally ive talked about killing politicians here.

under this kind of legal precident, you can be put in prison or executed. your government wont make a distinction.

people in the UK are going to prison because they express anger at sandniggers burning down their buildings. you will be next

If you get off to kids you deserve to be lined up against the wall, it's amazing to me how this is now considered controversial but here we are.

the guy getting arrested isnt getting off to kids. there are no kids in what he was jerking to, according to the article.

 

[Carmen The Aids Rabbit]

@Suel Forrester yeah, keep defending that shit, faggot, wonderful of your time. "Victimless crimes", that's what you pedo niggers have been saying for years because in your fucked up minds, the kids want it, right? You either legitimately retarded of willingfully ignorant and therefore malignant if you believe this cocksucker was innocent.
Hope he gets killed in jail, alongside any "virtuous pedophile" that ends up there because of this shit.

Enjoy your weird debate.

so i read the article again...this sick fuck didnt just make pics, he made VIDEOS. im sorry, but anyone who takes the time to make 20 cp videos just needs to die. you know he used children in his family, his neighbors kids, kids at the movie theater in which he was employed, for "inspiration".

 

[Suel Forrester]

@Suel Forrester yeah, keep defending that shit, faggot, wonderful of your time.

defending what?

"Victimless crimes", that's what you pedo niggers have been saying for years because in your fucked up minds, the kids want it, right?

what kids? "the kids want it" is an insane thing to post, and im honestly pretty disgusted.

the article never mentioned any kids

You either legitimately retarded of willingfully ignorant and therefore malignant if you believe this cocksucker was innocent.

innocent of what? innocent would imply a crime, a crime implies a victim

Hope he gets killed in jail, alongside any "virtuous pedophile" that ends up there because of this shit.

that will be you. youll be there with him because you just posted "nigger" online. you dissiminated hate speech, the prosecution of which was the entire purpose of the arrest in the OP

its not abut pedophilia (the people charging him are pedophiles), its about cultivating an environment where it is illegal to prosecute opinions posted online that oppose the status quo

Enjoy your weird debate.

enjoy being raped by niggers in prison

i think you have a guilty conscience, and i dont want to know what about, may God have mercy on you

so i read the article again...this sick fuck didnt just make pics, he made VIDEOS. im sorry, but anyone who takes the time to make 20 cp videos just needs to die. you know he used children in his family, his neighbors kids, kids at the movie theater in which he was employed, for "inspiration".

just like we "know" kf users have machine guns in their trucks to kill jews, right?
