How do these AI models generate nude imagery of children without having been trained with data containing illegal images of nude children?
The datasets they are trained on do in fact include CSAM. These datasets are so huge that it easily slips through the cracks. It's usually removed whenever it's found, but I don't know how this actually affects the AI models that have already been trained on that data — to my knowledge, it's not possible to selectively "untrain" models, and they would need to be retrained from scratch. Plus I occasionally see it crop up in the news about how new CSAM keeps being found in the training data.
It's one of the many, many problems with generative AI
Can't ask them to sort that out. Are you anti-ai? That's a crime! /s
