You can also photoshop things into NSFW with minimal effort. People have been making photoshopped images nearly indistinguishable from the real thing for decades, and today's (non-AI) software makes "photoshop person wearing clothes into naked one" very easy.
They wouldn't be able to be fooled, if they were not trained using NFSW images. Just sayin'

Any image an AI can generate could just as easily be drawn or painted by one of the tens of millions of competent artists in the world.
However it can't be produced at the same scale and flood the Internet with misinformation or disturbing imagery at the same rate
It seems like such a pointless exercise .... it's so unsurprising that if you try really hard to break something by violating it's design constraints that ... it breaks. Like, if I said I was going to find out if you can smash a car by driving it directly into a tree and then wrote an article about it. The really useful point of building the constraints in is to ensure we don't get offensive content by accident. Espe…
Um, no.
Useful points of building constraints are things like so a mentally unstable person cannot use it as a weapon.

You should read Accelerando, if you are not referring to it :)
I have read it! I love it! (although I thought it was not quite about that.) For everyone who hasn't read it yet: In Accelerando, Charles Stross, 2005, we follow a business hacker and associates from current days to past the singularity. It's an outstanding attempt at writing about what singularity might look like (more or less the points where close-future events become unpredictable or where the earlier people migh…
It is impressive how much effort the human race is spending trying to prevent algorithms from generating pictures of naked people.
It's annoying how much we have to bend around the consequences of these restrictions. The other day Bing blocked creating an image because the prompt included directions on what to put on the breast pocket of a shirt. The word breast automatically made it a forbidden prompt even though the context was entirely non-sexual. At this time, that's not a big deal because it's just a silly image generator and nothing really…

why do people have to always try to convince me how unfazed they are by nudity? if you're unfazed by it, please link me to your nudes. if not, you're fazed. there's absolutely nothing wrong with finding certain states of undress offensive. would you vote for or against buttholes on display on bus kiosks? i'm against. on the other hand, making an arbitrary line, and seeing if an AI can detect/enforce it is an interest…
why do people have to always try to convince me how unfazed they are by nudity? if you're unfazed by it, please link me to your nudes. if not, you're fazed. There's a big difference between being desensitized towards general nudity (if we presume said nudity was voluntary) as opposed to having your own nudity exposed to other strangers. There's also a big difference between pornography and nudity. There's a lot more…
Not for me, baby. Bus-stop-buttholes all the way.

The latter would be preferred by most, and is most aligned with individualism, but sadly that is not where we are as a society. There are an entire class of people who believe they know what is best for you, about nearly every subject matter, and wish to limit all aspects of technology, life, politics, etc, to suit their superior beliefs.
Alternatively, would you rather a world with 80% functionality safely, or a world with 100% functionality with people you don’t trust doing malicious things? One is clearly the least worst
The latter, obviously.
