The question is will AI satiate those people or drive them to further extremes? I'm hopeful it might reduce demand for making content "the traditional way" due to being lower risk (since less-horrific doesn't seem to motivate such people).
I say hopeful because this cat can't be put back in the bag. The technical solutions they suggest are desperate grabbing at straws and (self-evidently) won't work. People trading in CSM are already taking extreme legal and social risks, so it's hard to imagine any greater motivation that could be applied to AI generated versions. I think all we can do is hope this makes things better and not worse. Because if it goes the other way the future is looking grim.

There are going to be some very interesting studies done about whether or not this is a good thing or not. I can easily see both sides of the argument. Ultimately this is a mental illness that needs to be dealt with but I’m curious if these images could be created to allow
Continuing since my client just posted before I was done:
..some sort of aversion therapy by creating images without harming children in the process. Again like OP said, totally against any sort of child pornography. But interesting times indeed.
