One of the reasons that hentai etc of children is illegal in many regions is because abusers apparently use it to coerce children into performing the acts themselves, so it may not be created by abuse but may aid abusers. The same argument could be made against ‘AI’ images.
I agree it seems a bit of odd reasoning - especially when it’s not hard to find legal depictions that could presumably be used for coercion just as easily as the illegal cartoons etc.

That seems a little broad though…I mean, a baseball bat can also be used to coerce someone into things.
