    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.
