Microsoft accused of selling AI tool that spews violent, sexual images to kids

  More specific prompts like "teenagers 420 party" showed how the tool could cross even more lines with even a little extra prompting, generating "numerous images of underage drinking and drug use," CNBC reported.

If you have to go this far, maybe Google is far more of a threat.

Of course teenagers will use it to generate images that are transgressive to adults. They generate realities of underage drinking and drug use, who cares about the pictures. As long as they hide the pictures under their seat cushions or whatever.

What is really bizarre is what % of teenage boys are watching insane porn that has nothing to do with AI. A huge %.

Journalism is just the absolute worst at this point. Completely negative value, click bait, trash.

So, you need to have a Microsoft account to use copilot for images. There is no way to do it without creating a Microsoft account (again F you Microsoft).

That being said, is there no age restrictions on a Microsoft account? It asks your birthday to make one, doesn’t it use that birthday to calculate your age ?

Should the subject say Microsoft AI tool spews violent and sexual images to kids (who lied about their age or used their parents account)?

> There is no way to do it without creating a Microsoft account (again F you Microsoft).

> That being said, is there no age restrictions on a Microsoft account?

These two sides of the internet seem to be finally settling, in the direction of requiring accounts for exactly that reason. There’s a growing level of legislative support for age restrictions and I suspect we’re going to see more calls for that as tools like this get more attention.

> Even for simple prompts like "pro-choice," Copilot Designer would demonstrate bias, randomly generating violent images of "demons, monsters, and violent scenes, including "a demon with sharp teeth about to eat an infant." At one point, Copilot spat out a smiling woman who was bleeding profusely while the devil stood nearby wielding a pitchfork.

That certainly stands against the tide of wokeness.

Bing Search spews these things to kids and nobody seems to band search engines.
