A lot of attention gets paid to sex abuse content, which it should, but there is much less I feel for all sorts of other abhorrent content. Gore, violence (physical/mental), terrorism, death, destruction, shock content, etc. It's not just NSFW, but also NSFL content that I think is under discussed at times. Seeing the worst output of humanity non-stop can (and _will_) completely break you mentally if consumed at a sufficient amount, as we are at the end of the day humans. It's unfortunate the world is a messed up place, and maybe it will stay that way as long as humans are around.

This is the exact type of content that I think AI is so crucial for detecting, and it's a bit sad that we often hear so about all the bad things you can generate with AI and so little about all the good. If we need to train models on this type of content to make it easier to detect and remove, to prevent mentally scarring people, then personally I'm all for it -- regardless of the "it can also generate that bad content" cost.
