Because it creates an appetite for that type of content which is expected to grow to include real images with real harm.

I agree, but then again didn’t we have the same debate about violent video games? I don’t know why I am okay with simulated violence but repulsed by simulated sexuality.

The difference being that sexuality is typically considered an innate desire, whilst the desire to commit violence is not. Plus, we as a species have a biological imperative to protect our offspring, but apparently an immense capacity to ignore violence committed against others.

People say the same thing about anime artwork and manga, which is an excuse I don't buy into.

The only reason I personally can't condone photorealistic AI images is because they're indistinguishable from photographs.

And in this case, it's required the exploitation of another human being (their photograph, or a photograph of them) in order to undress/manipulate the image.
