"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This made me wonder about the ethics of "deepfake" porn of genAI pixels that look like a human.
Ai companies are not held responsible even though many of them directly advertise this as a feature like grok.
Instead they say "its already illegal" and try to go after the individuals to generated it. And even then thats not even true, the courts said ai generated porn is legal even if its csam, and Donald trump made it illegal for the states to regulate ai in any form. Which includes generating csam, deepfakes, etc. Because to the epstine class that's just innovation.
Their argument is that they can't be held responsible because someone used their tool inappropriately when the tool was specifically designed and has features to do this.
My argument is this is a level of willful incompetence to the point of allowing it. Its for example like if a father would go to prison for leaving his gun loaded on the kitchen table, and his son goes out and commits crimes with said gun. Ai companies like grok are doing the equivalent of unloading truck loads of automatic guns at the capitol building during January 6th.
Section 230 only applies to people who you aren't virtually guiding to do these illegal/harmful things. You can't just say we aren't responsible for teens using your platform(like meta is) and then do everything in your power to get kids addicted on your platform short of making it mandatory for every child to sign up for their services.
These people know what they are doing and pretending like they don't know what happened or know how to stop it.
Edit* I'm stupid I didnt even read/comprehend your post and essentially went on my own rant. If it means anything I brought up a few points that still apply.
