I agree with your assessment wholly. There was a case in the US (don't recall the details) maybe 15 years ago or so where the "cp" was actually drawings of the Simpson's children nude. Judge held that it didn't matter if it was real or fake. This sort of thing isn't new.

I only came to comment that I would not have predicted that AI would be used this way, but am not at all surprised by it.

would not have predicted

You must not have been on the internet for very long

Probably longer than most people but I often make the mistake of believing that humans tend to strive for good in spite of everything that indicates otherwise.

Some do. Some don’t. There will always be bad actors.

Didn't the Simpson's movie from 16 years ago get away with showing Bart's genitals? Are we still leaning on the "know it when I see it" definition of sexually explicit material?

They do it in Dragon Ball as well. I think the point is that if it's just passing nudity (i.e. a child being a child), then it's not sexual.

The judge was later found to be hosting CP on his personal website, of a very similar nature.

What the heeeell is this true?

That was Australia, not the US.

Look under Australia in the following Wikipedia page.
