Prisoner 1: so, what are you in for?

Prisoner 2: I made a picture of a nice sunset over the ocean

If it were illegal it wouldn’t be readily available. You’d have to seek it out. People seeking it out wouldn’t be using it to generate a sunset.
If it were illegal to generate a sunset, people would absolutely seek it out to generate a sunset, if just as an act of civil disobedience. Look at how people reacted to being told sharing a number is illegal[1]. Why would they act differently about an illegal computation?
