The decision could set a precedent for future monitoring of people convicted of indecent image offences

A sex offender convicted of making more than 1,000 indecent images of children has been banned from using any “AI creating tools” for the next five years in the first known case of its kind.

Anthony Dover, 48, was ordered by a UK court “not to use, visit or access” artificial intelligence generation tools without the prior permission of police as a condition of a sexual harm prevention order imposed in February.

The ban prohibits him from using tools such as text-to-image generators, which can make lifelike pictures based on a written command, and “nudifying” websites used to make explicit “deepfakes”.

Dover, who was given a community order and £200 fine, has also been explicitly ordered not to use Stable Diffusion software, which has reportedly been exploited by paedophiles to create hyper-realistic child sexual abuse material, according to records from a sentencing hearing at Poole magistrates court.

    Is it weird that the whole detect/evade game just sounds super fun to me?

      Not really. You’re probably a bit of a dopamine/norepinephrine (adrenaline) junky, like most Westerners. It’s bred into us by consumer culture.

      It’s weird that it’s not weird though.

          Might want to checkout cyber security and pen testing. It’s not the same thing exactly but it kinda close in some regards.

            That’s probably as close as I can get without picking out a taboo and running with it. I wonder if some drug lords get bored with the game and pretend to be pedophiles to catch bigger fish.

          What do you mean by metagame? Like you find the cat and mouse stuff that is happening fascinating?

            It’s like hunting down a secret base in Minecraft. When you find it, they use a better trick next time! The objective for security endeavors is always distinct but the methods are always changing as everyone gets better!
