There's another round of CSAM attacks and it's really disturbing to see those images. It was really bothering to see those and they weren't taken down immediately. There was even a disgusting shithead in the comments who thought it was funny?? the fuck

It's gone now but it was up for like an hour?? This really ruined my day and now I'm figuring out how to download tetris. It's really sickening.

On the other hand, if the people who want those images can satisfy their urges using AI fakes, that could mean less spreading of images of actual abuse. It might even mean less abuse happening.

However, because they're terrible people, I have to suspect that's not the case.

People who create the content and insane monsters, but a LOT of actual pedos (vs predators looking for a power play) are disgusted by their preference. I know a ton of them look to cartoons already for stimulation, so I think AI content could draw more people away from actual material. Hopefully if demand reduces there will be less creation of new real content as the potential profits fall more proportionate to the risk.
