No, I'm saying the models aren't being trained with actual CSAM. The comment I replied to was about training, not generation.
All I was saying is that you don't need to train a model on child abuse images to get it to output child abuse images
Do you really think the people generating CSAM give a fuck about their training data? They are making the content because they enjoy it - I'd guess they'd use all training data available (of which they would likely have plenty of, considering their interests)
The people generating it are rarely the ones who are training the models. They take pretrained models and prompt them for what they want.
Even if they were training a model for a specific subject, they could train it with any pictures of the subject and combine it with another model that can generate the kind of image they want.
There is absolutely no reason they would need abuse images to use for training. There are far better general nsfw models available right now than they could ever train themselves.
