Well copyright law isn’t interested in if someone intended to publish infringing works rather that it is an infringing work, so that persona’s claim that “any output is in the public domain” is legally incoherent.
Expand this a little bit in the opposite direction…imagine if Stable Diffusion was made illegal. Someone accuses me of using this illegal tool for an image that doesn’t look like anyone else’s image as far as the court is concerned for copyright. I put the image on my website. If the image itself is not at all infringing, then what is the evidence that Stable Diffusion was used? Should the police be issued a warrant to search my private property for proof that I used Stable Diffusion without a shred of evidence?
This frames the conversation about copyright within the legal structure and not some unrelated philosophical structure.
