The question is whether this just looks like taxi medallions or does anything to stop the harms you are talking about. I agree regulation has its place but in the form of regulating out the harms directly. I think this keeps those potential bad use cases and just eliminates competition for them.

For example - I can generate the content you are talking about in a licensed world from big companies or open ai, the difference is that they get a bigger cut from not having to compete with open source models.

To me, this really seems like regulatory capture dressed up as existential risk management.
