> Mechanical Turk it; people out there will read and classify this stuff voluntarily.
That's effectively what we currently have. No one is using threats of violence to coerce people to read it, they're forced by economic circumstances as are MTurk workers.
There's also an underlying issue that the people most likely to be interested in volunteering for this are people who enjoy the content. It becomes a fine line between moderating CSAM and snuff scripts, and being a distributor of that content.
> The job should be crowdsourced, not concentrated. We can all survive the occasional slip-up and report it as needed.
That's going to be fundamentally incompatible with a lot of businesses, and especially advertising. I'd imagine Microsoft would be pretty uncomfortable with using ChatGPT if it came with a "this thing will probably regurgitate CSAM at some point, just have your users report it".
> You could randomly redact half the words in any sentence and ask "does this look like a message you would send to your mother?", then compare results across 3 reviewers.
I don't think you can reduce the fidelity of ideas in the same way you can reduce the fidelity of an image. E.g. that sentence, skipping every other word, becomes:
You randomly half words any and "does look a you send your?", then results 3.
It's just gibberish. Cutting the number of pixels in an image in half is still the same image, but harder to make out. Cutting out half the words of an idea makes it not an idea any more.
You can water down a sentence and the underlying sentiment, but doing so would require understanding the underlying sentiment. At that point, we wouldn't need humans to read it at all.
Crowdsourcing this stuff could work, but I think it would require substantial shifts in current perceptions. I don't think most people would tolerate having CSAM and snuff scripts show up in their feeds with any degree of frequency.
