Creating fake child porn of real people using things like Photoshop is already illegal in the US, I don't see why new laws are required?

Well those laws clearly don't work. So we should make new laws! Ones that DEFINITELY WILL work! And if they don't, well I guess we just need more laws until we find ones that do.

Since we need a rule explicitly for AI related cases, even though it's already covered by others, lets ensure that we also make a 100 page law for if the material is explicitly made in Photoshop, and also another 80 pages if it was made in Gimp. If you use MS Paint to do it, we need a special 200 page law that makes the punishment even harsher, because damn you got skillz and need to be punished more.

No, I'm not criticizing the bill's content. If you don't enforce laws, new ones won't work either. The new ones are, at best, an opportunity for people to huff and puff and pat themselves on the back at the cost of actual victims. At worst, it's smoke and mirrors for what the new law actually does.
