Not sure there's really a discussion about equivalency to be made here - what it is is wrong inherently. A human doing it by drawing or meticulously rendering each frame of a digital video would be equally wrong to an AI, but now AI allows anyone do it without difficulty as you mention in your last paragraph.

Agreed. It's wrong. Pretty sure I didn't say it was alright in any circumstance, but if you can hilight where I did, I'll correct it from my post, as that wasn't the message I wanted to send.

There are degrees of wrongness.

Drawing a lewd picture of someone is not rape, for instance, but both are wrong and both have been mentioned.

We have separate terms to describe different things for a reason. That was the point I was trying to get across.
