Yes, but at the same time it'll greatly devaluate the real CSAM. It'll be like flooding the black market of perfect copies of rhinoceros horns. People won't have any economic incentive to create real CSAM.

Perhaps. I can't speak to the motivation of these folks, but I suspect it's more than just sending the pictures for them. Also, even if the market is flooded, I imagine we'd still want people looking for victims so it doesn't really help.
