AI Industry Struggles to Curb Misuse as Users Exploit Generative AI for Chaos::Artificial intelligence just can't keep up with the human desire to see boobs and 9/11 memes, no matter how strong the guardrails are.

Was not expecting to see a pregnant sonic flying a plane today.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The target was very much expected though

[–] zorro@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Oh God I didn't even see that lol

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

And Ganondorf is the father

One step towards avoiding misuse is to stop considering porn to be misuse.

[–] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 1 points 2 years ago

Porn is absolutely misuse when it involves real non-consenting individuals' likenesses.

You opened up Pandora's box. There's no closing it.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We opened up pandoras box and Frankenstein's monster crawled out, and his cerebral cortex is wired directly into 4chan, and also he's a nazi.

Best part of the article.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago

Why didnt someone warn us about this? Nobody said this might happen, nobody! Not a single person tried to be the voice of reason!

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 years ago

Meanwhile bing images blocks 90% of my generation attempts for unsavory content when the prompt is generally something that should be safe even for kids. Why do we only get the extremes?

[–] betwixthewires@lemmy.basedcount.com 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Misuse lol. People need to get their panties out of their butthole. You build a photo generator and get mad when someone uses it to make a picture of Marx with tits. Who cares? Crybabies can cry about it.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But what if I actually want to see "panties in a butthole"?

[–] Thranduil@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I wanna see panties on dickbutt

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used ChatGPT to write a song about hamsters robbing a bank.

[–] nobleshift@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would listen to that ...

(Verse 1) Yo, gather 'round, let me tell you a tale, 'Bout some hamsters, small but they set sail, On a mission, like a furry heist, In the dead of night, they were rollin' dice.

In a world where cheese was the ultimate prize, These little rodents had that glint in their eyes, They wore tiny masks, had a cunning plan, To rob the bank, be the rodent clan.

(Chorus) Hamsters in the night, they're on the run, Stealin' all the cheddar, it's just begun, Tiny paws, big dreams, they're takin' their chance, Hamsters robbin' banks, a rodent romance.

(Verse 2) Through the vents they crawled, like shadows they crept, Crackin' safes with their claws, while the city slept, Whisperin' secrets, in their hamster code, No one could stop them, they owned the road.

Lil' bandits of the underground, so sly, As they counted their loot, reachin' for the sky, Hamster wheelin', they had the skills, Pullin' off heists for their thrills and thrills.

(Chorus) Hamsters in the night, they're on the run, Stealin' all the cheddar, it's just begun, Tiny paws, big dreams, they're takin' their chance, Hamsters robbin' banks, a rodent romance.

(Bridge) But the long arm of the law was closin' in, Hamster SWAT teams, it was time to begin, A chase through the sewers, down the wire, The hamsters were on the edge, feelin' the fire.

(Verse 3) In the end, they were cornered, it was quite a scene, But these hamsters, they were tougher than they seemed, They fought for their freedom, they fought for their cheese, Tiny warriors, brought to their knees.

But the legend lives on, in the city's lore, The hamster heist, forevermore, Tiny rebels, brave and bold, Hamster bank robbers, the story's told.

(Chorus) Hamsters in the night, they're on the run, Stealin' all the cheddar, it's just begun, Tiny paws, big dreams, they're takin' their chance, Hamsters robbin' banks, a rodent romance.

Yeah, hamsters robbin' banks, that's the story told, In the underground world, where legends unfold, Tiny but mighty, they took that chance, Hamsters with a dream, a rodent romance.

Goddamn! Other than a few errors like “thrills and thrills”, this thing seems pretty cohesive!

Has a small plot and everything. I hope this tech is used to make some insane human-machine collaborations.

[–] olsonexi@lemmy.wtf 10 points 2 years ago

It’s so beautifully human that decades of scientific innovation paved the way for this technology, only for us to use it to look at boobs.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago

This is a part of a bigger topic people need to be aware of. As more and more AI is used in public spaces and the internet, people will find creative ways to exploit it.

There will always be ways to make the AI do stuff the owners don’t want it to. You could think of it like the exploits used in speedrunning, but in this case there’s a lot more variety. Just like you can make an AI generate morally questionable material, you could potentially find a way to exploit the AI of a self driving car to do whatever you can think of.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Both Meta and Microsoft’s AI image generators went viral this week for responding to prompts like “Karl marx large breasts” and fictional characters doing 9/11.

“I don’t think anyone involved has thought anything through,” X (formally Twitter) user Pioldes posted, along with screenshots of AI-generated stickers of child soldiers and Justin Trudeau’s buttocks.

One Bing user went further, and posted a thread of Kermit committing a variety of violent acts, from attending the January 6 Capitol riot, to assassinating John F. Kennedy, to shooting up the executive boardroom of ExxonMobil.

In the race to one-up competitors’ AI features, tech companies keep launching products without effective guardrails to prevent their models from generating problematic content.

Messing around with roundabout prompts to make generative AI tools produce results that violate their own content policies is referred to as jailbreaking (the same term is used when breaking open other forms of software, like Apple’s iOS).

Midjourney bans pornographic content, going as far as blocking words related to the human reproductive system, but users are still able to bypass the filters and generate NSFW images.

Welcome to the Internet

Make more, and include their heroes

From the spirits that I called, Sir, deliver me!

Can we stop calling these technologies "AI?" Then can we stop talking about them?
