It seems crazy to me but ive seen this concept floated on several different post. There seems to be a number of users here that think there is some way AI generated CSAM will reduce Real life child victims.
Like the comments on this post here.

I find this argument crazy. I don’t even know where to begin to talk about how many ways this will go wrong.
My views ( which are apprently not based in fact) are that AI CSAM is not really that different than “Actual” CSAM. It will still cause harm when viewing. And is still based in the further victimization of the children involved.
Further the ( ridiculous) idea that making it legal will some how reduce the number of predators by giving predators an outlet that doesnt involve real living victims, completely ignores the reality of the how AI Content is created.
Some have compared pedophilia and child sexual assault to a drug addiction. Which is dubious at best. And pretty offensive imo.
Using drugs has no inherent victim. And it is not predatory.
I could go on but im not an expert or a social worker of any kind.
Can anyone link me articles talking about this?
how are the drawings made
Generated by a computer by looking at some normal porn as well as (non-sexual) pictures of chiidren and trying to combine those?
Photoshopping a broad average of a child’s face onto a broad average of a naked person on top of the broad average of a child’s body in the broad average of a pornografic position.
Image generating AI can “learn” and apply concepts on top of each other, sometimes leading to otherworldly weirdness, sometimes resulting in realistic pictures of muppets being convicted during the Nuremberg trials.
