Well, it’s sufficient for our purposes that it holds in most. Proud and public porn consumers are outliers, and however an AI might make ethical distinctions, there will always be a body of outliers to ignore. But I grant that my approach is culturally relative. In my defense, a culture ordered such that this approach wouldn’t work at all probably wouldn’t seek a ban on porn anyway, and might not even be able to make much sense of the distinction we’re working with here.
Handling sub cultures is difficult. We can ignore outliers because our rules are weak and don’t reach those who make their own local rules and accept the price of violating (or bending) some larger sociaties rules. But an AI may not treat them the same. An AI will be able to enforce the rules on the outliers and effectively kill those sub cultures. Do we ant this? One size fits all? I don’t think so. The complex value function must also allow ‘outliers’ - only the concept must be made stronger.
Except that this doesn’t hold in all social circles. Once there is a distinction people will start to use it to make a difference.
