Adobe isn't the creator of child porn when Photoshop is interacted with a child pornographer.

So why are you considering xAI the creator when it's the tool that's being interacted with?

The human child pornographer using tools is the one who's creating it, not the tools.

Can I ask photoshop to generate the image and it magically does it?

If Grok doesn't have the controls in place, and Elon Musk refuses to add them, then it is a child porn machine. I would not want to be on the side defending that.

AI tools have democratised a lot of previously skilled labour, and now law needs to catch up. That is how the world has always worked. I'm sure piracy wasn't a major concern before we had ships transporting commerce.
