Gross.

Sometime make it do this to Trump so that we can summon a lawsuit ouroboros

You may not have noticed there was a nude AI deepfake of Trump that's been viewed tens of millions of times, aired on Comedy Central.

That’s satire though.

Under any reasonable court (big caveat for American courts right now) that’s free speech.

Well no, that was a practical effect.

Taylor swift nude gross, but trump nude good? You have rare taste it seems.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That’s not what they said at all. They said they want two bads with two lawsuits coming from every side of the political spectrum.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

I mean, all the AI deepfake nudes are gross, but I'm interested in the chaos and two awful people getting in a fight.

The image generator will also make photorealistic pictures of children upon request, but thankfully refuses to animate them inappropriately, despite the “spicy” option still being available. You can still select it, but in all my tests, it just added generic movement.

So it does know theres a line to cross somewhere…

You really don't think there's a 'freedom' version being mailed to the Epstein mailing list?

Reminder that Elon Musk told people on Reddit, that he will set the Age of Consent to 14 on Mars, if not lower.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Isn't that a bit too high? 14 Mars years are about 28 Earth years.

...

Not that I think Elon knows that.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

There’s definitely models that have no problem with that yeah

The real hero

[–] johncandy1812@lemmy.ca 58 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Musk offered to father her children. This was probably done deliberately.

[–] SuperCub@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

The difference between impregnating and being the father figure. He's such a piece of shit.

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 55 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I appreciate Grok for being the platonic ideal AI system. Not like these others that get little guardrails and tweaks added every time a news article hits about some inevitable fucked up output it can produce. Just pure unrefined donkey shit. 🤌

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago

Grok has guardrails, it's just they're there for different reasons.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Oh it's refined donkey shit alright, it has guardrails just like any commercial LLM.

[–] dsilverz@calckey.world 6 points 1 day ago

@deathbird@mander.xyz @florencia@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Grok is not that free of guardrails.

I say as a person who sometimes have the (bad) idea of feeding every LLMs I could possibly try, with things I create (drawings, poetry, code golfing). I don't use LLMs to "create" things (they're not really that capable of real creativity, despite their pseudo-stochastic nature), I use them to parse things I created, which is a very different approach. Not Grok anymore, because I have long deleted my account there, but I used to use it.

Why do I feed my creations to LLMs, one might ask? I have my reasons: LLMs are able to connect words to other words thus giving me some unexpectedness and connections I couldn't see on my own creation, and I'm highly aware of how it's being used for training... but humans don't really value my creations given the lack of real feedback across all my works, so I don't care it's used for training. Even though I sometimes use it, I'm still a critique of LLMs, and I'm aware of both their pros and cons (more cons than pros if we consider corp LLMs).

So, back to the initial point: one day I did this disturbing and gory drawing (as usual for my occult-horror-gothic art), a man standing in formal attire with some details I'll refrain from specifying here.

ChatGPT accepted to parse it. Qwen's QVQ accepted it as well. DeepSeek's Janus also accepted to parse it.

Google's Gemini didn't, as usual: not because of the explicit horror, but because of the presence of human face, even if drawn. It refrains from parsing anything that closely resemble faces.

Anthropic's Claude wasn't involved, because I'm already aware of how "boringly puritan" it's programmed to be, it doesn't even accept conversations about demonolatry, it's more niched for programming.

But what surprised me on that day was how Grok refused to accept my drawing, and it was a middle-layer between the user and the LLM complaining about "inappropriate content".

Again, it was just a drawing, a fairly well-performed digital drawing with explicit horror, but a drawing nonetheless, and Grok's API (not Grok per se) complained about that. Other disturbing drawings of mine weren't refused at that time, just that one, I still wonder why.

Maybe these specific guardrails (against highly-explicit horror art, deep occult themes, etc) aren't there in paid tiers, but I doubt it. Even Grok (as in the "public-facing endpoint") has some puritanness on it, especially against very niche themes such as mine (occult and demonolatry, explicit Lovecraftian horror, etc).

Swift could easily get a lawsuit set up against them and most likely win, if AI nudes start getting made and sent out by average people. If she did, she's already won the court of public perception or whatever it's called ( drawing a blank ) because of how popular she is. I guarantee if she told people not to use grok or ex-twitter, a large of the swifties on the platform would run faster than Usain Bolt to delete their accounts.

[–] insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Public opinion is what you were looking for there.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, my brain had stopped working. Thanks for the help.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Swift could easily get a lawsuit set up against them and most likely win

How would that work? If someone drew a photorealistic painting of pretty much the same, under what legal claim could Swift "most likely win"?

[–] bubblewrap@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Many jurisdictions have started banning nonconsensual intimate imagery, including the US (in several states as well as federally under the TAKE IT DOWN Act).

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 day ago (4 children)

That seems recently signed into law (ie, untested in courts) & patently unconstitutional. Would that law prohibit obscene depictions of Trump?

So everyone is naked and without job. What would be next AI revelation ?

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"... for science" - reporter

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago

I mean I get what you are saying, but at the same time this does need attempting with every image generation AI and reporting on if successful. If this capability existed but wasn't general knowledge it calls cause serious issues.

Better that it's made public so that the information is in the public consciousness.

That picture is uncanny.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

I wonder if grok could make some distasteful Elon deepfakes.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How is AI not buried under piles of lawsuits?

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Because its not a legal entity. And when it becomes one... well lets just hope it never becomes one.
