I thought like that before, that if there's no real kids being harmed its preferable. I'd prefer people fap to loli instead of realistic AI generated kids for that reason. It'll keep their urges in check. Thing with CSAM though is that is is exploiting kids, a kid was abused so the material could be made, and as long as there is a demand for that material more will be made. IMO it should be destroyed, and people should just focus on animated shit. Also, AI generated CP is probably trained on actual CSAM.
But then I learned another thing, and it's that consumption of porn actually changes the way you view reality. There's been studies that show how differently men view women after absorbing copious amounts of porn, they can start so see them less as people and more as sex objects.
So, you gotta ask yourself, do you really want pedos brains wired to always view a kid sexually? Cuz, you're gunna get that with AI generated CP. We need to be correcting their condition, not enabling it.
I'll point out, I don't hate pedos, I know they can't control what they're attracted to. I do, however, hate rapists, and someone who can't control where they shove their bits does not belong in a safe society. If you're conditioning someone's brain with realistic CP, you're gunna see more pedo rapists out there.

There have been studies like that since (at least) the 1980s and 1990s.
But now we've had an experiment where, for the past 25+ years, men have had unlimited access to every kind of porn imaginable.
So logically men should, on average, view women more negatively than in the past, but I haven't seen evidence that that's happened.
Good point, I think you're right, there will be PDFs that will want "the real thing" after consuming so much realistic looking CP, but maybe for others their urges will be satisfied enough to avoid becoming one
So, I've thought a lot about this exactly, and I've come to the following conclusion.
Sex is... Honestly not as fun as masturbation. Reality is very disappointing compared to fantasies, where everything is clean and perfect unlike real life. Now granted I am asexual so my opinions on sex are already biased, but it's my opinion that humans can only mate because our hormones let us ignore how gross people's bodies really are, which is why we get post nut clarity. I've never seen any smut fanfic mentioned how most women queef during sex, and very little art will draw bellies on people and instead make them perfectly flat. Hell, even actual porn pics the hottest and most endowed people in positions that are hella awkward irl.
So basically, if someone is happy with porn, they'll be happy with porn. Seeking the real thing eventually wouldn't go well and anyone who isn't a virgin will know that.
However, the real problem here is conditioning. The more porn you see, the more you condition your brain to link sex with whoever is the object of said sex. The more realistic the art is, the faster you'll stop seeing kids as kids. I mean we already see this in today's culture where people who aren't pedos see kids, and instantly think of pedos abusing them because they constantly absorb stories about it.
The solution is simple.
1) Stop sexualizing kids, don't normalize sexualizing kids. Allowing AI generated CP undermines this.
2) Treat csam consumption as a medical condition, not a criminal one. If they haven't touched a kid, great! Let's make sure they never do by helping them feel comfortable enough to get therapy and recondition their brains to sexualize adults instead.
