"Artificially-generated CSAM" is a misnomer, since it involves no actual sexual abuse. It's "simulated child pornography", a category that would include for example paintings.

Not exactly, since the abuse needed to actually happen for the derivative images to be possible to generate.

  Is Stable Diffusion only able to generate images of things that have actually happened?

    Hmm, that’s a good point. It seems to be able to “transfer knowledge” for lack of a better term, so maybe it wouldn’t need to be in the dataset at all…
