The judge will very likely sentence him within the guidelines barring some sort of extraordinary mitigating factor. If he goes below or above the guidelines then it's almost an automatic appeal from either the prosecution or defense.

BINGO!! 97% of these types of Federal felony cases are pled out, so it's very rare for sentencing Judges not to respect the agreed up prison sentence guideline terms in order to maintain the integrity of the process and avoid the predictable appeals on either side!

NY State does not mess around with cases like this.  My sister's ex-husband was found searching for content, and had 10 still images (not video) on his computer.  He plead guilty and was sentenced to 30 months in prison (which he served all of)  and 10 years probation.  I'm going to bet that NY State is going to make a point with this case with a VERY strong sentence, given the facts of the case.

Ahhh, why do I suspect this is now one of those JK Rowling situations? In the sense that someone's, like totally, an "awful and terrible person" if they have the audacity to separate the person from the content, that is... 😕 

On the other hand, maybe it's finally time for the anti-AI crowd to STFU permanently because, with AI-generated content, there are no actual human beings involved in the "creative" process; additionally, if you find some content you really loved, then you never have to worry that sometimes in the future the AI will be revealed as some immoral and unethical person who's done terrible things! 😵‍💫👀😵

This is not a New York State case.  This is a federal case.
