We really need it possible to push laws faster, 2026 is going to be an insane year for multimodal models and laws are simply not keeping up.

Is there an actual case for outlawing this that isn't based on moral panic? Wouldn't you actually want people to generate those images with AI so they are less incentivized to pay for the real stuff?

As long as you don't need actual CSAM material in the training data and the generated images are different enough from a real person (both of which seem to be very possible technology-wise), that seems to be a good thing.

Or is there any indication that availability of CSAM material actually increases the likelihood that people act on it later?
