Believe me, I love debating laws and policy, but I'm 99% sure you're taking the piss and any discussion wouldn't be in good faith.
If you aren't just trolling, take a few minutes to read up on why the US (and every country with the capability) hasn't decided to dismantle their entire nuclear stockpile, or stopped research into nuclear weapons. If you don't have time, the 10,000 foot overview is no one wants to fall behind, if they do they they fear that they wouldn't be able to defend themselves against the same... AI is no different, tell the world to stop researching it and all you guarantee is that countries that don't listen to the global community will outpace the ones that "play fair".
Where the fuck did you get your discussion of fucking nuclear weapons to inject into this discussion? Did you need some bullshit topic that you can use to divert people from the fact that I'm completely fucking right and you're talking out of your goddamn ass? This isn't even close to the concept of the nuclear stalemate; this is a country choosing to do what is right and if other countries want to allow their companies and citizens to destroy copyright and waste power, then that's their problem. If you equate global thermonuclear war with us not being able to generate fucking AI porn and getting out of your writing assignments by asking AI to do it for you, you have a serious learning disability.
Dude, you jumped from "theft" to murder in under 50 words, no need for the hostilities and it doesn't have the slightest thing to do with "AI porn" or answering writing prompts. While that can be a use of AI, its similar to the way you can use a pizza cutter to slice cheese if you want (even if that's not what it excels at).
In a digital age, the ability to train a model on a specific topic and use it to automatically iterate through an instruction set (while "learning" about outcomes outside of the original training material), can be the difference between thinking your infrastructure is secure or actually securing it.
LLMs have their use in the world, a lot more use than stuff like copyrights, patents, and trademarks. Ever wonder why you can easily get a cheap ripoff of patented goods? Its because not all countries follow the laws of other countries.
All that being said, you don't have to agree, it changes nothing and having opposing views actually makes the world a better place as it spurs discussion and thought. Thank you for being part of such a great community, and thank you for engaging with me and others!
