The DOJ arrested Steven Anderegg for using Stable Diffusion to create 'thousands of realistic images of prepubescent minors,' distributed on Instagram and Telegram.
Anderegg, a software engineer, used his 'special skill' in generative AI to create CSAM images, many depicting minors in explicit sexual situations, seized post a tip-off.
Anderegg boasted about his AI generating skills while sending sexually explicit AI images, leading authorities to seize over 13,000 such images from his laptop.
Instagram tipped off authorities after messages were flagged; Anderegg was reported to have sent sexually explicit AI images to a teen on the platform.
