Nobody making or studying AI wants to hear "your model is being used to generate copious amounts of CSAM". That's basically a death sentence for the technology - even moreso than "your model is just an unattributed search index of stolen art and code". The easiest way to avoid this is to just ensure the model refuses to generate anything NSFW.

It's not a death sentence and journalists will just find a reason to hate on your project for clicks no matter what you do. Also no children, or adults, are sexually abused when an NSFW image is generated.

  "no children, or adults, are sexually abused when an NSFW image is generated" True, but that might not matter to the general public, legislators, or judges. I just read a new article on the BBC related to this: "Deepfaked: 'They put my face on a porn video'"[1] The person in question was not physically abused. Only a fake porn video with her face on it was released. But she was still emotionally distraught over it, and said: "You start thinking about your family," she says, holding back tears. "How would they feel if they saw this content?" This is a real concern to a lot of people, and I doubt they'll be swayed by people pointing out that they weren't physically abused. So, yeah, there'll likely be a massive backlash against some AI-generated content and the software that generates it, and laws will likely be made against it in some countries. But in other countries and on the dark web it'll still exist. There's ultimately no way of stopping it, and eventually people will come to terms with its existence and widespread availability, no matter what the law of some countries says.
