This is not the nanny state, it's just PR concerns. They don't want to be associated with headlines like "FBI Finds Child Porn Images Generated by Microsoft's AI".

PR concerns about what puritans will think. Puritans love a nanny state with the entire modicum of affection their shrivelled black hearts can muster. No, I'm not defending CSAM or AI simulacra of it. Fusing the medium with the censor is an abomination. It's Cocreator wagging the finger today, tomorrow it's Clippy popping up to tell me that what it thinks I might be making is too objectional for me to continue making…

I have to say that it's beyond funny that Adobe is currently parading the same feature as the groundbreaking new thing in Photoshop and then Microsoft just goes and puts it in paint.

Looks like the pricing model is different. The linked article only mentions "50 credits" with no further details, but this page[1] says it's $15 for 115 credits. In comparison, Adobe's Firefly appears to be 25 credits per month for free or $4.99 for 100[2]. But I guess users are already paying a monthly subscription fee to use Adobe products, so maybe Paint comes out to be cheaper.

The puritanical snowflake nanny state needs to die.

Not because they are afraid of regulation, but because they want to lobby for anti-competitive regulations using "safety" as the premise.
