It seems crazy to me but ive seen this concept floated on several different post. There seems to be a number of users here that think there is some way AI generated CSAM will reduce Real life child victims.

Like the comments on this post here.

I find this argument crazy. I don’t even know where to begin to talk about how many ways this will go wrong.

My views ( which are apprently not based in fact) are that AI CSAM is not really that different than “Actual” CSAM. It will still cause harm when viewing. And is still based in the further victimization of the children involved.

Further the ( ridiculous) idea that making it legal will some how reduce the number of predators by giving predators an outlet that doesnt involve real living victims, completely ignores the reality of the how AI Content is created.

Some have compared pedophilia and child sexual assault to a drug addiction. Which is dubious at best. And pretty offensive imo.

Using drugs has no inherent victim. And it is not predatory.

I could go on but im not an expert or a social worker of any kind.

Can anyone link me articles talking about this?

    To those, who say “no actual children are involved”:

    What the fuck the dataset was trained on then? Even regular art generators had the issue of “lolita porn” (not the drawing kind, but the “very softcore” one with real kids!) ending in their training material, and with current technology, it’s very difficult to remove it without redoing the whole dataset yet again.

    At least with drawings, I can understand the point as long as no one uses a model or is easy to differentiate between real and drawings (heard really bad things about those doing it in “high art” style). Have I also told you how much of a disaster it would be if the line between real and fake CSAM would be muddied? We already have moronic people arguing “what if someone matures faster that the others”, like Yandev. We will have “what if someone gets jailed after thinking their stuff was just AI generated”.

      Source? I’ve never heard of this happening. I feel like it would be pretty difficult for material that’s not easily found on clearnet (where AI scrapers are sourcing their training material from) to end up in the training dataset without being very intentional.

        It was on Twitter by an anti-AI group. Xon’t have the link anymore.

      I’m pretty sure if you show an AI regular porn and regular pictures of children, it will be able to deduce what child porn looks like without any actual children being harmed.
