So it's acceptable for AIs to generate these sorts of outputs, as long as they aren't shared online? Sure, the outputs aren't very tasteful, but they're certainly not illegal by any stretch.
Why do you think the government should intervene, and what you would even expect them to do? No laws are being broken.
If you somehow forbid AIs from generating this through a national law just because it's offensive, it'll open to floodgates to ban 1,000 other things that are offensive. Where do you draw the line? Ban this content from websites like TikTok, sure. But it doesn't make sense to regulate this from the AIs themselves.
