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.

    This sort of problem-solving acumen is how HIV became so widespread in Africa. Have you considered instead trying competence?

      Have you considered not advocating for the sexualization of children?

        You’re using sensationalist language to hide the fact that you’re the person in this conversation arguing for more aexual abuse of children, not me. I’m advocating for using drawn artwork to reduce abuse of children. You’re advocating for banning said artwork, which we know leads to more abuse of real children.

        Please stop supporting pedophilia.
