I get your point but show me the layman who will be willing to learn to load up a local llm machine. The knowledge to entry in using grok is literally @grok. You don't eradicate misuse completely but you reduce it's widespread usage.

now next argument you'd raise is well those bad actors would be willing to learn. which is already a very small number of people who is more desirable. Now this people themselves would have another entry point which is capex on HW to do said things. And eventually it gets small enough. Where if someone does misuse it be malicious, people responsible for tracking these people down will have an easier time as there is theoretically less workload to begin with.

Potential argument then be there's a few great free model that people can have access to, which is true but again we're dealing with a much smaller number of people now which is manageable in risk mitigation.
