A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't like grading evil for this very reason so I think I will refrain from doing so - thank you for catching me doing that. I will refrain from doing that.
That said, AI CSAM could enable other forms of abuse through blackmail. I can also see very harmful things happening to a child or teenager because people may share this material in a targeted way.
I think both are inhumane and disgusting.
I call it evil because it is intentional and premeditated.
Trying to put everything on degrees is bound to show ignorance and imply that certain things are more acceptable than others.
I don't want to hurt people with my ignorance and I do not want to tell someone that what they experienced is less bad than something else. They are bad and we'll leave it at that.
I am working with this definition : "Characterized by kindness, mercy, or compassion". There is a difference between human-made and humane.
We can try to rationalize it, sure but I think that doing that generally is a disservice. I don't want to make decisions based on this severity scale. The people who suffer from these problems are all equally deserving of help.
