Print out this exchange and show it to the women in your life (if there are any), then let everyone here know their response. Your abhorrent behavior is only protected by the anonymity of the web. Seek help.
Until legal systems fully catch up with the ramifications of such immoral actions, social pressures— such as doxing— is totally acceptable to reduce the engagement of such disgusting behaviors becoming mainstream.
Normal, respectable, people would never engage in such behavior and those who choose to do so should feel the full force of social pressures to lesson the chance of others following suit.
Your defense— of such disgusting behavior— suggests that you are implicitly ok with sexual assault, rape, or general degradation of women. You should seek help with your view and I hope the women in your life know they are in danger.
Not at all. AI generated images are— for all intents and purposes— are real images as viewed from the average viewer. There is no distinguishable feature here that is different from "revenge Porn", where revengeporn is a blanket term for an individual distributing non-consensual images whereby average viewers would assume the individual of the attack is the individual in the content.
The argument that it's just "photoshopping" is so outdated— and blatantly ignores the advancements in AI and deepfake technologies— that it frames your argument in a such a bad-faith position that it isn't worth engaging with you. Modern AI can generate highly convincing and realistic content, making it distinct from traditional image editing.
