We can very easily draw both a moral and legal line between "somebody downloaded an open weight model, created a prompt from scratch to generate revenge porn of somebody, and then personally distributed that image" and "twitter has a revenge porn button right next to every woman on the platform that generates and distributes revenge porn off of a simple sentence."

No, we can't draw such a line. Where would you draw it? What is the minimum friction? How would you quantify it?

If you try, you quickly end up codifying absurdities like the 80%-finished-receiver rule in firearm regulation. See https://daytonatactical.com/how-to-finish-an-80-ar-15-lower-...

People who say "society should permit X, but only if it's difficult" have a view of the world incompatible with technological progress and usually not coherent at all.
