It's also worth noting that to my knowledge, written CSAM content largely isn't illegal, it's just visual depictions that are. I'm not sure there's even any law prohibiting profiting off of commercial, written depictions of CSAM, though I wouldn't swear to it, it's just that you'd have a very hard time with typical commercial infrastructure (web hosts, banks, payment processors, advertisement firms, publishers and distributors) because you'd be so poisonous to public opinion.
So I'm not fully convinced that a LLM that generates CSAM text, even if it was interactive, would be in any way restricted by law. Image generation is, of course, a little different.
- qingcharles 2y agoI don't know how it differs between jurisdictions, certainly governments are (rightly) putting their resources into visual CSAM investigations and trials, but textual material is defined as "obscene" under federal law at least? https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/texas-man-sentenced-40-years-prison-running-child-obscenity-website https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/texas-man-sentenced-40-years-...
