We restrict nuclear and chemical weapons, guns, cars, pills, etc. I think that as a practical matter, the genie is already out of the bottle. Any state sponsor that wants an unrestricted gen-AI model can have one, and can deploy the products as they see fit. It still makes sense to keep random people from generating images of public figures, at least for an election cycle or two, until people have become accustomed to critically thinking about what they see. It won't work long term, but just delaying a bit will mitigate some of the damage.
