Yes, it is seeded with kids’ faces, including specific children like someone’s classmate. And yes, those children, all of them, who it uses as a reference to make a generic kid face, are all being abused because it’s literally using their likeness to make CSAM. That’s quite obvious.
It would be different if the AI was seeding models from cartoons, but it’s from real images.

OK, so this is just the general anti-AI image generation argument where you believe any image generated is in some meaningful way a copy of every image analyzed to produce the statistical model that eventually generated it?
I’m surprised you’re going the CSAM route with this and not just arguing that any AI generated sexually explicit image of a woman is nonconsensual porn of literally every woman who has ever posted a photo on social media.

No, I am not saying that.
I’m saying if an AI image is sexual and seeded from irl child models, then it is CSAM.
Adult women who consensually post their image to social media are WAY different than children who can’t consent to even enter a contract.
Also, I did argue that already when I mentioned how many AI porn models are directly seeded from Scarlett Johansson’s face. Can you read?

To be clear, when you say “seeded from” you mean an image that was analyzed as part of building the image classifying statistical model that is then essentially running reverse to produce images, yes?
And you are arguing that every image analyzed to calculate the weights on that model is in a meaningful way contained in every image it generated?
I’m trying to nail down exactly what you mean when you say “seeded by.”
