Moreso an apple with controversial but not strictly CSAM material based in a country where it's content is legal. Actually, not even an apple; Lemmy and the fediverse aren't an entity. It's an open standard for anyone to use; you don't see the Modern Language Association being blamed for plagiarized essays written in MLA format, or the WHATWG being blamed because illegal sites are written in HTML, so it's not a fair comparison to say that Lemmy/the fediverse are responsible for what people do with their open standard either

It's Pawoo, Pixiv's (formerly) own instance, which is infamous for this kind of content, and those are still "just drawings" (unless some artists are using illegal real-life references).

They're using Generative AI to create photo realistic renditions now, and causing everyone who finds out about it to have a moral crisis.

Well, that's a very different and way more concerning thing...

... I mean ... idk ... If the argument is that the drawn version doesn't harm kids and gives pedos an outlet, is a ai generated version any different?

imo, the dicey part of the matter is "what amount of the AI's dataset is made up of actual images of children"

Shit that is a good point.
