7th Circuit affirms dismissal of AI-generated CSAM possession charge in Anderegg case
The Timcast IRL segment discusses a recent 7th Circuit ruling in United States v. Anderegg. Hosts read from the opinion by Judge John Z. Lee and react with outrage to the dismissal of a possession charge for AI-generated explicit images of children that do not depict real persons. The discussion covers the defendant's use of Stable Diffusion to create thousands of images, the case background, and broader implications for law enforcement and society. The panel debates morality versus law, the realism of AI imagery, and fears of proliferation on porn sites.
