MODERATORS
Don't know why you're down voted. You're right, it's CSAM, which encompasses any depiction of CP.
Because "CSAM" states abuse as the third word in the acronym. Machine learning could (in theory, I lack knowledge on the current implementations) be trained without any children being abused (in any traditional sense anyway) and used to produce the content without any real children being involved (ignoring training data).
The downvotes likely come from a difference in definition between abuse and CP, images of nonexistent people cannot realistically harm anyone.
Personally, I don't think it's arbitrary. A child in a sexual scenario is a depiction of abuse. Normal, healthy children don't engage in such behaviors.
depiction yes, but if no person or animal is harmed is it abuse?
