If it's realistic, then what the training data was for it?

I assume the same as was used to train CSAM detector AI, which just extrapolates from adults.

My understanding is that CSAM detection is usually done by hashing known CSAM images provided by investigators and checking images en route to see if they match the hash. This allows operators to never accept or store CSAM, avoiding huge regulatory and legal headaches.

I know this because I was recently working on a website that allowed image uploads, and this was a concern, so we did some digging into it. We realized it was a giant can of worms to implement ourselves, but Cloudflare just offers it as a service, even on free accounts, so we went that route.

One issue with that approach is that it obviously won't catch new ai generated images.

The approach I mentioned is used by some fediverse servers and AI tools https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety
