    The other comment about how this has been happening for a long time (with low tech methods) is true, and it’s also true that we can’t stop this completely. We can still respond to it:

    An immediate and easy focus would be on what they do with the images. Sharing them around is still harassment / bullying and it should be dealt with in the same way as it currently is.

    There’s also an education aspect to it. In the past, those images (magazines, photocopies, photoshop) would be limited in who sees them. The kids now are likely using free online tools that aren’t private or secure, and those images could stick around forever. So it could be good to highlight that

    • Your friends and classmates may see them, and it may harm their lives. The images will likely stick around. Facial recognition algorithms are also improving, so it’s a legitimate concern that an image stored on a random site somewhere will be tied back to them.
    • The images can be traced back to the creator and the creator can face repercussions for it (for those without empathy, this might be the better selling point

        What teacher says: You shouldn’t do this because it might hurt somebody.

        What some kids hear: Check out this new way to hurt somebody and get horny at the same time. And as an added benefit, you can say it’s only about the first one if admitting the second one would hurt you socially, even if the second one was the whole original point!

      I think we should pressure EU to make it such that any online AI photo generating website also uses AI to make sure what was asked is not illegal.
