Another commenter mentioned that most of the major platforms do have safeguards against this stuff at this point and are more being done with local models. That’s my ignorance and I’m sorry about that. I would agree with you in general - what you do on your local device should be private, which will protect a lot of important usage but also some nefarious usage. Terms and conditions of freedoms.
I was thinking of how Grok in particular was just open to generating these sorts of images without any guardrails. In my mind that was similar to a company producing deadly chemicals without any guardrails for preventing it from poisoning everyone around.
