I've read that pedophiles are more likely to act out on their urges if they have access to real images. I would guess that this also applies for ai generated images too, even if they don't look 100% real, but I could be wrong on that. Whatever stops them from abusing kids is what I'm for.

I want to say research on the subject has been inconclusive overall. I'd certainly update my view given convincing evidence that fictional images lead to abuse of real children.

Of course, none of that has anything to do with the non-explicit video linked elsewhere in this thread of an adult woman using the toilet.
