Of course, even if they did work, centralizing control of them is a bad idea. The end user should have the freedom to control such things. (In the same way you can type swear words into a word processor).

Someone has to make value judgments on the underlying data and algorithms, if only to build the system in the first place. If users can't (or don't care to) run these models locally, who else will decide other than the service operator?
‘Therefore AI vendors should release uncensored models and let everyone else figure it out’ is not a logical consequent from it.
‘Therefore don’t use current AI tech to build apps that photomanipulate user submitted content and echo the results back to them with your logo on it’ would be a more logical conclusion to draw.
In other categories of AI generated content though, such as speech and music, the open source alternatives are either lacking or completely absent. And with the company behind Stable Diffusion being on the verge of financial collapse, we may see Stable Diffusion fall far behind it's closed source counterparts.
