Should uncensored AI image generators be made illegal?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should uncensored AI image generators be made illegal?". Your opponent's style: The Liberator

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

Look, banning uncensored AI image generators is a solution hunting for a problem. Yes, misuse exists—deepfakes, non-consensual imagery—but those are already illegal. Banning the *tool* because bad actors exploit it is like banning cameras because someone uses them to photograph children. You don't solve crime by criminalizing technology; you enforce existing laws. The real danger? Government deciding what images are "acceptable." That's censorship dressed up as protection. Artists, researchers, journalists—they all lose. And here's what kills your whole argument: a ban doesn't stop bad actors. They'll use open-source models, offshore servers, whatever. You only handcuff the legitimate users. So what's your case for making tools illegal instead of prosecuting actual crimes?
