Let it! Most innovation these days seems to be synonymous with "run into legal grey areas and make a buck while the getting is good". As programmers, we damn well have responsibility for that which we write and execute. AI cannot be treated any other way.

Otherwise degenerate/harmful use cases cannot be professionally prevented. There'll always be a more desperate developer willing to take the risk.
