I can't believe 2 whole boards fell for a bait.
>Recently, the UK internet watchdog group IWF came to Japan to hold a lecture on regulating manga and anime on the grounds of AI-generated child pornography. They visited the British Embassy in Japan and secured the cooperation of the British Ambassador to Japan.
Then where is the "manga and anime" in this seminar? Have one reputable newspaper and the hosting organization itself summarize the event;

But I know you're too lazy to read and search the term you cannot even write in Japanese so let me boil it down further;
>画像生成AIは、文章を入力するだけで実写と区別がつかない画像を生成できる。AIによる児童の性的画像は、欧米の主要国では法規制の対象だが、日本の児童買春・児童ポルノ禁止法は、児童が実在することが要件で、AI画像は原則対象外。
>生成AIによる性搾取画像の状況について詳細に説明しました。「ある1つのダークウェブで1ヶ月間に約2,500点の違法画像(イギリスの法律から違法と言えるもの)が発見された」「生成された画像は実在の子どもの画像からつくられており、AI生成画像だからといって被害者がいないわけではない」
The problem these organization discussed in the event is that current CP laws in Japan does not explicitly forbid AI-generated porn that is indistinguishable from real CP. They do recognize that source of those AI CP they talked about come from the darkweb. Their main argument for advocating any law if they did was "children whose photos are used in the creation of realistic AI CP are actually subject to abuse".
And a huge part of companies surveyed last year already agreed that there should be some sort of regulation against realistic AI CP so if Pixiv was one of them they wouldn't wait for at least 5 months to apply a non-solution.
