Schools and lawmakers are grappling with how to address a new form of peer-on-peer image-based sexual abuse that disproportionately targets girls.

I think the micropenis thing wold just encourage this further

It's obviously not a serious suggestion, but the reality is the tools are out there and Pandora's box can't be put back on the shelf. Kids can't be held accountable in a meaningful way. This is just an issue we are going to face basically forever now.

There is a window of time during which most kids are little sociopaths and you can't appeal to any better nature. They have the means and often no internal or external restraint. And so mutually assured destruction is my tongue in cheek answer.

AI can do penises just fine though, there's just no market demand for it so quick and easy deep fake sites are focused on female bodies.

But I disagree with this anyway, this will be the "bullied kid brings a knife to class" of AI.

Oh.... There's demand for it for sure.

The image generation models that exist are unquestionable proof of demand for penises. I think what's missing is the kahunas required to make a business around it. There are places even pornographers fear to tread.
