New AI image filters are "just another obstacle to ‘defeat,’" researcher says.
4chan daily challenge sparked deluge of explicit AI Taylor Swift images::New AI image filters are "just another obstacle to ‘defeat,’" researcher says.
I don’t see a solution to this one and we’re just going to have to live with people making pictures of whatever they want. It’s not like TS can stop me making an oil painting of her humping a dolphin or whatever.
I went and looked for it since I know the AI porn "challenge" posts are on /b/ and the theme/title of the latest one is literally "child pussy edition"...
Even for 4chan that's fucked up. I'm done with the Internet for today, I hope those pedos get shot in the head.
I wonder if some pedo is just masquerading as a typical 4chan to crowdsource content.
Or is that place just that fucking degenerate
It really is just that degenerate. I haven't been there in close to a decade, but even back in the naughts and teens, it was full of pedo bullshit (right along side Nazi imagery). There may be good boards on chans, but the place is a shit hole overall.
Yeah I remember in the 00s it was an instant ipban to post pedo shit, but also pedobear and joking about it was common. It seemed like people would post actual abuse materials to troll the site but it was quickly dealt with. I was there for "brb church" though where 4chan vigilantes lured an actual pedo and had them arrested.
Hah as if. In the early 00s the mods were in maybe once or twice a day and there was tons of CP being posted.
Worst I saw was a little girl chopped into pieces, and a many -page discussion / argument if it should be sorted as CP or Necro porn. That was the old 4chan.
You can find TS NSFW images pretty easily. I searched to find some and see what the hubbub was all about and frankly it’s just the same old porn stills. It doesn’t matter that it has TS’s face on it. I guess some people get off on that sort of fantasy, but I was not impressed, but then that sort of stuff really doesn’t do much for me anyway.
E: I’m not kink shaming. IMO people getting off on the fact that it was done is pretty lame.
Well uh, yes. Its the internet, there are sites where people devote massive time and energy to discussing the wankability but also canonical accuracy of depictions of 'what if 14 year old anime girl characters actually had penises that are canonically accurate and true to the art style as well'.
At least one person is into the weirdest shit you can imagine.
There was at one point a group of people who filmed themselves putting fleshlights in car exhausts and fucking them, then this got even more weird and people seemingly seriously said they had actual sexual attraction to vehicles, then people started fucking the exhaust pipes with no fleshlights, then someone , possibly multiple people actually seriously injured themselves this way.
And also yes to shock value, now that 4chan is involved, its more or less 'this is funny because it will very likely make someone angry, and also theres no real way this sort of thing can be prevented, here, lets prove it'.
I have stared into the void, it has stared back into me, and destroyed all nearly all notions commonly assumed to define reason and humanity.
Okay that's not right, 4chan was never good. I miss the days when it was bad, but it wasn't a cesspit of sociopath trolls trying harder to outtroll other trolls and society at large.
Graphika researchers—who study how communities are manipulated online—traced the fake Swift images to a 4chan message board that's "increasingly" dedicated to posting "offensive" AI-generated content, The New York Times reported.
Fans of the message board take part in daily challenges, Graphika reported, sharing tips to bypass AI image generator filters and showing no signs of stopping their game any time soon.
“While viral pornographic pictures of Taylor Swift have brought mainstream attention to the issue of AI-generated non-consensual intimate images, she is far from the only victim," López G. said.
Rather than expecting platforms to chase down the harmful content, López G. recommended that AI companies should get ahead of the problem, taking responsibility for outputs by paying attention to evolving tactics of toxic online communities reporting precisely how they're getting around safeguards.
"These images originated from a community of people motivated by the ‘challenge’ of circumventing the safeguards of generative AI products, and new restrictions are seen as just another obstacle to ‘defeat,’" López G. said.
Experts told The Times that 4chan users were likely motivated to participate in these challenges for bragging rights and to "feel connected to a wider community."

What if I want to make pornographic images of myself? What if Taylor Swift wants to?
The software is out there already, the images are life-like, and the models run offline. There's absolutely no way of recorking that bottle now.
American right wingers really do amaze me with their conspiracies.
From mind control vaccines, to Jewish space lasers, to Hillary Clinton running paedo rings in caverns underneath pizza shops, to Taylor Swift rigging some sports event in a way that (somehow) endorses Biden?
Well by all reporting the whole of Q-Anon started with some fool on 4Chan claiming to have top level gov clearance and knowing all the dirt. Once enough people repeat something as fact the people who might have been skeptical at first start to jump on board because 'how could that many people be wrong?'.
Massive group think from the very independent researching crowd letting things go out of control.
It's quite impressive how many people seem to think you actually believe she is rigging the superbowl to endorse Biden, rather than just referring to that batshit theory to make a sane point.
I know I'm confused as I took it as being facetious. Then again there are people that believe weird stuff like that. Maybe I was just being generous and giving them the benefit of the doubt? Or maybe they're just trolling. 🤔
I actually believe she’s going to announce her own candidacy and do a “Taylor’s Version” of the Constitution that technically allows each of her “eras” to serve for two terms. This is all made very clear by the Easter Eggs in her Instagram account.
