In UK you get arrested for a mere tweet if it hurts anyone's feelings and it's called democracy. Unbelievable.
Btw UK surpassed Russia in these kinda arrests

Hmm, yeah. It’s almost as if they deliberately made them look less like the real ID’s, because I have little doubt that openai would be perfectly capable of generating that image.
Another thing to think about is that this is just passthrough from an AI model. If it's illegal to make a website that spits out fake IDs, then OpenAI is illegal until they filter them.
I'm not sure that argument would hold up legally. You could use an image editing site to create IDs and counterfeit currency as well, but such sites are legal.

I don't think "It was actually ChatGPT that committed the crime, not me" would fly in a British court.
That's an interesting question, though. We hold that LLMs are incapable of generating copyrighted images, so it's not just a tool - if it was just a tool then the author would be able to copyright the images. The courts recognise that an LLM is capable of generating things in its own right (which is why they're not copyrightable - copyrights only protect human works). So it follows that an LLM must be able to create…
You're overthinking it. You're building on your own definition of what a tool is, but courts are likely to find that a person who used an AI with a specific type of prompt were using it as a tool and are responsible for the clearly stated intent behind their use.
Whether that's actually legal in this case I don't know, but I'm pretty sure courts won't conclude "welp, it was the AI, not the user" in a case like this.

#124Do please take a moment to consider which MPs carry the burden here. It's mainly a single flavour. Mention it on the doorstep next time. https://votes.parliament.uk/votes/commons/division/1926
What a fucking mess. Labour voted in conservative policy. Conservatives voted against it. Reform, whilst all over the news for being against it, voted for it.
> Reform, whilst all over the news for being against it, voted for it.
Just as a slight correction – the only "Reform MP" that voted for it is James McMurdock, but he's no longer a Reform MP and I'm not sure why he is still listed as one here.

#126Chinese Netizens are very familiar with Xi Jinping's national ID number precisely for this reason :-) ID verification is enforced on all Chinese websites. People figured out they can just use Xi's ID number.
lol on a much lighter note, for many years I used to use 111-111-1111 as a general phone number for CVS card discounts. It stopped working several years ago though.
As a Canadian I was lost and confused when visiting the States (in the before time) and a gas pump asked for my zip code. So I put in the one and only zip code I know. I bet you can guess.

Don't listen to the sibling commenter who doesn't know what they're talking about. No, you don't need ID verification to use search engine or read news in China. However, sites that depend on user-generated content (like forums) would ask for at least your phone number.
How easily can a burner be used? Are sim cards easily swapped?
There is no such thing as "burner". Phone number is very hard to get and requires ID verification and sorts

Photoshop does not allow you to edit currency images.
