There is a practical difference in the time required and sheer scale of output in the AI context that makes a very material difference on the actual societal impact, so it's not unreasonable to consider treating it differently.
Set up a lemonade stand on a random street corner and you'll probably be left alone unless you have a particularly Karen-dominated municipal government.

The scale of an activity is a relevant factor in how society views it.
