I could live with this kind of thing being classified as a misdemeanor provided the creator didn’t use underage subjects to train or influence the output.
So could I, but that doesn’t make it just. It should only be a crime if someone is actually harmed, or intended to be harmed.
Creating a work about a fictitious individual shouldn’t be illegal, regardless of how distasteful the work is.

I think it’s pretty stupid. Borders on Thought Crime kind of stuff.
I’d rather see that kind of enforcement and effort go towards actually finding people who are harming children.

This is also my take: any person can set up an image generator and churn any content they want. Focus should be on actual people being trafficed and abused.

Paracetamol “borders on” poison, but isn’t.
Slippery slope is a logical fallacy, and there are actual consequences here. We need to do better.
