Could you hypothetically describe csam without describing an adult with a child's head, or specifying that it's a naked child?
That's what a person trying to generate csam would need to do, because it doesn't have those concepts.
If you just asked it directly, like I said "horse flying a hangglider" before, you would get what you describe because it's using the only "naked" it knows.
You would need to specifically ask it to demphasize adult characteristics and emphasize child characteristics.
That doesn't mean that it was trained on that content.
For context from the article:
The DOJ alleged that evidence from his laptop showed that Anderegg "used extremely specific and explicit prompts to create these images," including "specific 'negative' prompts—that is, prompts that direct the GenAI model on what not to include in generated content—to avoid creating images that depict adults."
Again, that's not how it works.
