all good points, and I'll for sure say that I'm not qualified enough to be able to answer that. I also don't think politicians or moms groups or anyone are.

All I'll do is muddy the waters more. We as the vast majority of humanity think CSAM is sick, and those who consume it are not healthy. I've read that psychologists are split. Some think AI generated CSAM is bad, illegal, and only makes those who consume it worse. Others, however, suggest that it may actually curb urges, and ask why not let them generate it, it might actually reduce real children from being actually harmed.

I personally have no idea, and again am not qualified to answer those questions, but goddamn did AI really just barge in without us being ready for it. Fucking big tech again. "I'm sure society will figure it out"
