Police investigation remains open. The photo of one of the minors included a fly; that is the logo of Clothoff, the application that is presumably being used to create the images, which promotes its services with the slogan: “Undress anybody with our free service!”
Reason #48373884 why generative AI should be banned
Definitely not down with banning. You can imagine nudity in your mind and redraw it. Do we ban thoughts and artists too? The AI isn’t the problem.
No amount of false equivalencies will make me or anyone else accept something as stupid, dangerous and terrible as generative AI.
It’s on you to accept you don’t have the right to have a robot think and be creative for you, and that poor girl is one of many reasons why.
You’re riled up, I get it, but your statements are simply not factual, as much as you want them to be.
I don’t know… I think in this age, you can always say any nude is AI generated, so nobody can be sure it’s a real nude.
There will come a time soon when people won’t trust what they see online because AI.
AI generated content is usually pretty obvious.
That hasn’t been the case for a while. With current models there is basically nothing that gives them instantly away as AI. You have to go anomaly hunting in the hopes to find an extra finger or a bit of text that looks twisted, but that assumes you already expect AI to begin with.
The best tell tale sign left for AI is really just the composition. It’s always very focused on the subject right in front of the camera, as if the person was posing for the photo, it’s never just random slice of life snapshot where you have multiple people in the image interacting in any kind of complex way. The crux of course is that your average Instagram image looks not much different, so it’s not exactly bullet proof either.
In the lab it’s still possible to tell the difference, if you run across an image in the wild you’ll just accept it as real without giving it a second though.
That should terrify everyone
And I believe that is the reason why these AI images look like this: they’ve been trained with these Instagram and Instagram-like social media images, therefore that’s what they can do.
It’s part of the reason. Another big issue with current models is that their language understanding is very primitive. Something like “person standing” they can understand, but “one person with a red hat sitting and another standing behind them with a blue shirt” already fails. There will be red and blue things in the image, but they’ll be pretty arbitrarily spread across and not assigned to the person the prompt said.
That said, this won’t last for long. With Segment Anything we have AI that has a very good understanding of what is in an image, which should make training on arbitrary images much easier, as well as editing. We also have lots of research going into video and plenty of more powerful language models, that just haven’t yet integrated into image generation. Even just ControlNet and some inpainting can overcome most of those issues, it just takes a bit more manual work than a text prompt. There is also DraGan, which is an incredible powerful drag&drop approach to AI image editing, but due to using a completely different approach from StableDiffusion it is not yet properly integrated into other tools.
Today sure. Tomorrow, not so sure.
Fair. All the more reason to ban it.
In theory yeah, but we live in a world where companies will do whatever they want, and any punishment is just “cost of doing business”.
Unless we work to fix it, it will always be that way.
You cannot put the genie back in the lamp.
You’re not a genie, you’re a lazy reprobate.
It’s impossible to ban AI once it’s allowed for public use because technology spreads rapidly, and enforcing a ban becomes impractical due to its widespread adoption and the difficulty of regulating it effectively. But hey, if you want to make an ineffective ban that will only affect one small part of the world, irrelevant to the masses, be my guest.
No it isn’t. We can and have banned awful, terrible shit that became widespread before, and we’ll do it again. To your precious AI you’re dumb enough to allow to do your thinking for you. We’ll even jail you for using the things.
That’s what laws are for and if we believe what you’re saying, then no law can exist.
Considering I’m not even a US resident, your government and laws cannot touch me, that’s how irrelevant your knee-jerk reactions are.
Do you think China, India, or even members of the EU will stop developing AI because one country said so? Your expectations are highly unrealistic.
Other countries can ban you, too.
And I do think the EU is more likely even than us to ban you, or at least heavily regulate you.
You’re living in a dream world if you think you can steal everyone else’s artwork en masse, use it to generate art for you and think you can get away with it. It’s going to happen. You’re going to get banned.
I’m fine making art on my own, without AI, but thanks for your concern.
