The pre-AI world is gone. Estimates suggest that already, as many as one in eight kids personally knows someone who has been the target of a deepfake photo or video, with numbers rising to one in four who have seen a sexualized deepfake of someone they recognize, either a friend or a celebrity. This is a real problem and it’s one that lawmakers are suddenly waking up to.
In the 1980s, when I was a kid, it was a picture of a missing child on a milk carton from across the country that encapsulated parental fears. In 2026, it’s an AI-generated suggestive image of a loved one.
The increasing availability of AI nudification tools, such as those associated with Grok, has fueled skyrocketing reports of AI-generated child sexual abuse material — from roughly 4,700 in 2023 to over 440,000 in the first half of 2025 alone, according to the National Center on Missing and Exploited Children.

Probably the only bright side of kids seeing so much of this is that they will be smart enough to see and avoid online predators who pretend to be their age in order to meet them or get sexually revealing pictures of them.
That is not this problem.
This problem is with one decent picture, which I can take with my camera, I can get a realistic video or picture created in seconds that has them disrobed. If it can do that, it can make it go more in depth then that.
AI needs to be banned or be severely curtailed in some way to stop this crap.
I couldn’t agree more.
It’s not surprising. If you make something easy enough for a 12-year old to do, he’ll do it. Give a Glock to a 12-year old, and he’ll use it. Give him a program that can make Suzy nude, and he’ll do it.
