25.01.2026 14:52 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0There’s a litany of sins associated with XAI that is not limited to CSAM (and not even just that one AI too). But I’ve been flagging that as in issue on that platform. Least I could do is to challenge it in its own manor. Although I suspect my posts are suppressed there.
