> I think the main thing here is that there is a very clear difference between mentally imagining someone nude and a fake version of their nude body being created. One is in the mind only and another actually exists.

I think things through to what it will be like when we have digital consciousness. I think that imagining someone naked if our brain is simulated and running digitally so the memory can be saved and retrieved is the same as sketching a nude or writing in someone’s diary. It’s private thoughts and it’s best to not dig into others’ private thoughts.

I think the problem to focus on is when images are sold or traded or distributed.

I think things in my mind exist as much as a private sketch. It’s just that the sketch can be found by others but the thought cannot.
