If Photoshop had a "Create Child Porn" button and the user pushed it, we'd blame both the user and Photoshop.




There’s no “create child porn” button. The user has to explicitly ask for child porn. If someone uses GIMP to create child porn, do you blame GIMP?

If GIMP had AI features like this, I'd expect safeguards. It doesn't. All other AI tools have safeguards against this kind of bad behavior that are lacking in Grok.

GIMP doesn’t have AI features, but you can still use it to create nasty stuff and there are no safeguards against that.

As always with AI, the barrier to entry has evaporated. You can create nasty stuff with a pencil but you can't flood the internet mass producing nasty stuff with a pencil.
