I would be okay if these AI generated images were made available to people who had self identified as a pedophile to their local government body and agreed to be placed on a special list and enter psychiatric treatment. After all, although it's absolutely disgusting, at least with AI generated images no children are being harmed and if it brings these sick people forward to seek treatment and to be identified and monitored to prevent real life abuse, then it could actually save real children from being exploited which is obviously a noble goal.

I just don't envy the poor bastard that has to setup the test data for the AI to generate all that art...
