I understand where you're coming from, and I'll play devil's advocate to the devil's advocate: If generative AI is generating convincingly photorealistic CSAM, what the fuck are they training the models on? And if those algorithms are modifying images of actual children, wouldn't you consider those victims?
I strongly sympathize with the idea that crimes should by definition have identifiable victims. But sometimes the devil doesn't really need an advocate.
