100% agree.
What great harm is being prevented by keeping me from making spacesuit Hitler on a toilet blasting off in a cloud of diarrhea?
It’s really clear that the point of the guardrails is to cover up the fact that all the models are trained on insanely racist datasets to begin with and even without the explicit racism in the datasets it would draw back the curtain on exactly how fascist modern liberalism has become by dint of its MO, figure out a visual representation of what you’re looking for and show it to you.
Surprise, the aryan mommy milkers machine can’t be trusted to present history!
For who though? Surely not the vast majority people within the imperial core who would see nothing wrong with it. Is it just the fair trade coffee problem? Liberals not wanting to feel guilty?
Yes!
When someone asks for woman holding child outside beautiful perfect photorealistic trending on artstation and gets back the aforementioned aryan breast elemental holding a blond haired, blue eyed baby with the rhineland in the background they might just chalk it up to chance. Twice is a coincidence. Twenty times with only one brunette whose skin tone just happens to be the same color as sun bleached bone might make a person wonder why the ai image generator only makes white people and seems to think the continuum of hair and skin is pamela anderson to elvira with a few stops along the way.
The problem is clear to anyone who did this: the datasets used for ai training have served to distill and codify the implicit bigotry across the internet at best.
How do you fix implicit bias? No, you can’t address the history of oppression that gave rise to it! You can only use the extant toolset of inclusion to fix the racist ai.
That’s what the problem is, btw, the racist ai. It’s not the racist society’s ai.
I guess you could conceivably download and load some models locally, provded your gpu is good enough
That’s what sucks.
You can run the old crappy 1.5 or sdxl (kinda has some guardrails still, idk I haven’t messed with it) but the newest stuff is all like the google ai in the op. And open ai the company was supposed to be open source but they’re keeping things under wraps to prevent danger to the public.
The only dangerous thing about ai models is they’ll tell you how fucked your society is!
Of course everyone’s up in arms about the image and video generation ones that look insane and dogshit but the real cool thing is speech generation. That’s how you use ai to social engineer!
