I’m pretty sure that this is not true. I’d love to see sources.

There was some research before the ongoing AI-panic, focusing on hentai instead. As it is as “harmless” as the AI-generated content.

And I do recall that at the time there were voices in research making the point that the consumption of material did not have correlation with actually reducing the urges. So this seems highly unlikely.

Wait, you’re not AI too?
