While I appreciate that they intend to block extreme makeup or cosmetic surgery filters, I don't see anything about blocking AI-generated content that could be similarly harmful.

There's this:

“Sensitive Aggregate Content” refers to content that, in the aggregate, may be inappropriate for Teen Users. For the purposes of this Agreement, Sensitive Aggregate Content shall mean nutritional discussion, personal weight and physical fitness accomplishments, muscular physiques, promotion or depiction of non-invasive aesthetic procedures for maximizing physical attractiveness, depiction of certain body parts commonly associated with body idealization, and depiction or discussion of personal experience living with mental or emotional distress

This means suppressing looksmaxxing, or ana-mia, but also discussions of mental health, or trans issues. Suppressing deviant ideas is certainly the main point. If that will help with anorexia and such issues is doubtful, as far as I know.
