Ethical issue(s)

This model doesn't have many guardrails against using it to generate NSFW images of celebrities and other important people. This is ethically a very risky model.

Oh no! This is unacceptable! Someone might generate Obama with a big wiener! Think of little Bobby's purity! Think of the scandal! Think of the children! Everything MUST BE CONTROLLED

Sir, I’m going to step in here. What you’re describing is not a model issue — it’s a user issue. No AI company on Earth can (or should) be forced to babysit every bad decision someone makes with a completely offline, local model. If a person chooses to generate unethical or illegal content, that responsibility falls entirely on them, not the developers.

It’s also important to point out: generating explicit content of real people — especially public figures — isn’t just “ethically risky,” it’s a legal liability for the user. Companies aren’t required to prevent every misuse any more than Photoshop is required to stop someone from making a deepfake.

AI tools don’t remove accountability. They just expose who actually has good judgment — and who doesn’t.
