Jesus Christ. If someone ever got their hands on this model they could use it to generate new material. The grossest possible AI model to date
No. This is an inference model, not a generative model. You generally cannot train a model for both, unless you do it on purpose, and they certainly did not (especially since inference models are way easier to train than generative models).
A generative model uses the classifier as part of its training. If you generate a picture of pure random noise, then iteratively pick random noise that the classifier says "looks" more like csam, then you can effectively generate images that the classifier says it's 100% certain is csam. Whether or not that looks anything like what a human would consider to be csam depends on other factors but it remains a possibility.
You are describing the way deepdream works, not the way modern Diffusion models work. It's the difference between psychedelic dog faces and a highly adherent generative image of a German Sheppard.
I can't imagine you're going to get anything out of this model that actually looks like CSAM, unless there's some sort of breakthrough in using these models for previously unrealized generative purposes.
I thought being able to do that was already a thing. This is designed to do the opposite.
I know, I know.. bad actors and such.
...but if simple posession defines who a bad actor is...
The irony of this never ceases to amaze me.
