    Real material is being used to train some models, but sugesting that it will encourage the creation of more “data” is silly. The amount required to finetune a model is tiny compared to the amount that is already known to exist. Just like how regular models haven’t driven people to create even more data to train on.

      Just like how regular models haven’t driven people to create even more data to train on.

      It has driven companies to try to get access to more data people generate to train the models on.

      Like chatGPT on copyrighted books, or google on emails, docs, etc.

        And what does that have to do with the production of csam? In the example given the data already existed, they’ve just been more aggressive about collecting it.

          Well now in addition to regular pedos consuming CSAM, now there are the additional consumers of people to use huge datasets of them to train models.

          If there is an increase in demand, the supply will increase as well.

            Not necessarily. The same images would be consumed by both groups, there’s no need for new data. This is exactly what artists are afraid of. Image generation increases supply dramatically without increasing demand. The amount of data required is also pretty negligible. Maybe a few thousand images.
