In the scenario I laid out, no additional real children are being abused either - because the government is simply framing you and you never consumed or produced any CSAM. That's what I meant by it being similar - if your concern with punishing people for AI generated CSAM is that law enforcement could lie about it and frame innocent people, then what I'm trying to point out is, that same risk exists with the real thing, they could lie about that too - if you want the government to enforce any laws you need to trust they're mostly trustworthy.
