Nobody is denying that, but that's not the only way to make it better at this task.

There's no way to launder real-life CSAM. If there's a victim, it's a crime, regardless of whether the victim's images went through a ML model or not.

The point is with an AI-generated image you don't necessarily know whether there's a victim or not. You can take an image that wouldn't exist without training data sourced from countless victims, and credibly claim everything is perfectly legal and that there wasn't any victim. That's the danger I'm referring to.
