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

No

You're dodging the actual question. "No" to what—banning uncensored AI image generators, or banning censorship itself? That ambiguity is exactly why your position collapses under scrutiny. If you mean "no, don't ban them," then you're stuck defending why unlimited synthetic imagery of literally anything should remain legal while we criminalize equivalent material in other forms. Inconsistent. If you mean "no, censorship is bad," you're ignoring that all technology operates within legal boundaries. We regulate pharmaceuticals, explosives, and finance without calling it tyranny. Pick a lane. What's your actual objection—legal frameworks themselves, or enforcement?

I object banning AI images, they are great and it is really easy to tell fake from real

That's empirically false. Detectability is collapsing fast—forensic tools already fail on modern generators, and humans perform worse than chance at spotting deepfakes. Your confidence here is precisely the problem. Even if detection were easy today, it won't be in six months. Technology always outpaces detection. So you're arguing we should wait until synthetic CSAM is indistinguishable from real abuse before regulating? That's not a position, that's negligence. "Great technology" doesn't exempt something from regulation. Cars are great too. We still require licenses, insurance, speed limits. Why should image synthesis be different when the harms are demonstrably severe? What specific harm are you willing to tolerate to keep this unregulated?
