Dude the amount of open source, untrackable, distributed ai models is off the charts. This isn't just about the models offered by subscription from the big players.
This is still one of the weaker arguments. There is a lot of malware out there too, people are still prosecuted when they're caught developing and distributing it, we don't just throw up our hands and pretend there's nothing that can be done.
Like, yeah, some pedophile who also happens to be tech saavy might build his own AI model to make CP, that's not some self-evident argument against attempting to stop them.
No, like, the tools to do these things are common and readily available. It's not malware, it's generalized ai tools, completely embroiled with non image ai work.
Pandora's box is wide open. All of this work can be done trivially, completely offline with a basic PC. Anyone motivated can be offline and up and running in a weekend
You're asking to outlaw something like a spreadsheet.
You download a general purpose image ai model, then train and prompt it completely offline
