An ordinary kitchen knife can be used to assassinate someone before others can react. How do you think the time it takes to do that compares to the police response time?

In both cases the catching them comes after the fact and has the purpose of deterring rather than impeding.

Hm? I'm saying that the AI firms used to have the philosophy of "ok this kitchen knife is dangerous but we'll catch the murderers" on older AI models. But now, the AI firms think that any average person could send a flying knife to attack a political figure they don't like, from the comfort of their home. Now give this to a billion people, and suddenly you have chaos. So to continue the analogy, now they're mandating drone registration, GPS tracking, etc.

And then a Chinese company sells a drone with no registration or tracking and suddenly people want to turn to legislation to ban Chinese drones.

Hey this analogy is working really well
