They’ve ensured the only way to create CSAM is through old-fashioned child exploitation, meanwhile all perfectly humane art and photography is at risk of AI replacement.
This is a huge missed opportunity to actually help society.

What do you propose? The FBI releases a CSAM data set for devs to use for “training”?
Would you be the one to create the model? Would you run a business that sells synthetic CSAM?
Anyway, one obvious application: FBI could run a darknet honeypot site selling AI-generated child porn. Eliminate the actual problem without endangering children.
It's very unlikely AI generated child porn would even be illegal. Drawn or photoshopped photos aren't so I don't think AI generated would be.

Don't forget that pornographic images and videos featuring children may be used for grooming purposes, socializing children into the idea of sexual abuse. There's a legitimate social purpose in limiting their production.
That being said, this is a question for sociologists/psychologists IMO. Would giving people with these kinds of tendencies that kind of material make them more or less likely to cause harm? Is there a way to answer that question without harming anybody?
In the mean time, stay away from 4chan.
Apparently Facebook has a huge problem with distribution through messenger.
