> If there is a glut of legal, AI generated CSAM material then this provides a lot of deniability for criminal creators/spreaders that cause genuine harm, and reduces "vigilance" of prosecutors, too ("it's probably just AI generated anyway..."). > You could make a multitude of arguments against that perspective, but at least there is a conclusive reason for legal restrictions. I don't know about that. Would "I didn't know it was real" really count as a legal defense? | ||

Absolutely-- prosecution would presumably need to at least show that you could have known the material was "genuine". This could be a huge legal boon for prosecuted "direct customers" and co-perpetrators that can only be linked via shared material. | ||
