This is honestly ridiculous. I'm not trying to defend abusers or pedophilia at large, but You're not going to be able to rid human nature of it. Its been here since the dawn of mankind. The more society bans victimless outlets for these sick individuals, the more they'll be directed towards actual victims. AI Generated material is a safe way to let them manage their illness( while hopefully getting professional mental help ) without involving actual underage people. Its really a stupid and shortsighted decision by the UK and law makers that they'll probably come to regret if they'd look at the data on cases involving abuse and minors.

That doesn't mean society shouldn't be disgusted with AI Generated content like this, Not by any means. But we shouldn't be actively, and legally opposing it. It's just going to push pedos into a corner and one day they may just lose control and act on their urges.
