Yet another completely normal use of generative AI: not-obviously-illegal CSAM (www.wgal.com)
 

School student tells AI to put 20 other students’ faces on nude pictures, shares them in chat; it takes months for anyone including the school administrators to act because of some extremely, uh, dubious loophole.
