Legally this is going to be a mess. In theory I agree that CSAM that is photorealistic should be illegal (mainly because it won’t be long before a AI generations are completely indistinguishable from photos, and we can’t just ignore real child abuse), but how do you define photorealistism or CSAM when the subjects literally don’t exist? I figure if this kind of thing ever hits the courtroom there will be wildly different verdicts and sentences.
