So can I post AI generated underage pictures of Doland Trump as an 8-year old having sex with a boar without censorship?

Someone else is way ahead of you there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashcroft_v._Free_Speech_Coalit.... The underage part seems to be in the clear. Fucking a boar is less clear (plain old obscenity, the first amendment's greatest weakness).

Is that already illegal? If so, no, if not, yes.

Being offensive is not the measure for applying censorship.

But platforms can currently decide to censor stuff if that want - which usually includes porn. Now they can't.
