You can't "generate" CSAM. CSAM definitionally had to be about abuse of real children. It's still bad and should be illegal but lumping them together is bad.

- roryirvine 3mo agoYou do realise that saying "SpaceX are producing and distributing child porn, not CSAM" doesn't actually make things better for them, don't you?
- mlindner 3mo agoPersonally I think AI should be treated like photoshop. If someone is creating life-like imagery of child sexual abuse that you can't determine if its real or not, then that would be the criminal action of the person producing it. Software companies should not be acting like overlords on how their software can be used. People get upset when states try to legislate that 3D printer manufacturers should detect and prevent people trying to make gun parts, but somehow this is different.
- roryirvine 3mo agoSure. And SpaceX (or anyone else) were to run a child porn service using Photoshop, they should be held accountable for that too. The tooling doesn't matter, it's the nature of the images they were generating and distributing that was the problem.
