      It’s an obvious overreach.

      An AI generated image is essentially the solution to a math problem. Say the images are/become illegal. Is it then also illegal to possess the input to that equation? The input can be used to perfectly replicate the illegal image after all. What if I change a word in the prompt such that the subject of the generated image becomes clothed? Is that then suddenly legal?

      I understand the concern, but it’s just incredibly messy to legislate what amounts to thought crimes.

      Maybe we could do something to discourage distribution, but the law would have to be very carefully worded to prevent abuse.
