It's just a matter of time until someone can create a "ThisChildPornDoesNotExist" site, then send links to targets to have their lives ruined. I am extremely worried by humans policing the Intertubes, and even more worried by algorithms doing so because they make the perfect excuse to do sloppy checking. See Youtube DMCA related takedowns for multiple examples.

“Their” in this case referring to the sender, which makes the particular problem somewhat self-limiting, right?

Probably so, but a more smart malware that grabs fake images from an encrypted server somewhere, then plants them in the victims PC/phone/whatever, then deletes itself, isn't rocket science.
