While the police investigate, the mothers of the affected have organized to take action and try to stop those responsible
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!”
The crux of course is that your average Instagram image looks not much different
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 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.
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.
