This is more really important reporting here. It's not enough to just warn of the privacy risks, 404 is out there proving that it's actually happening. Also a reminder that what you upload to AI bots and whatnot is not private, and there's a real cost/toll on the people working behind the scenes. https://www.404media.co/humans-reading-copilot-prompts-images/

@zackwhittaker The most horrifying part of this for me is that the reporting focuses so much more heavily on how contractors are traumatized by the --judging by the given examples-- the most vanilla sexual content someone can ask for than the issues of consent, which should be the actual elephant in the room here.
This is a breach of consent and privacy all the way down, and the sensational part is foot fetish of cartoon characters.
Gimme a break, media. This is why we'll never have good things. I'd much rather we didn't have to pull the conversation to the correct place on our corner of social media but the original source focused on the correct issue from the get go.
@zackwhittaker This reporting gives AI literacy a concrete first lesson: decide what should never go into a prompt before teaching someone how to write one. For practice, use invented documents and names, then check the product's review and retention settings before real work enters the tool.
@zackwhittaker Eesh, I'm a huge pervert and I've never even thought of doing this stuff.
I prefer to keep it to the cartoons. No consent issues possible.
Dear ai user. Would you prompt your mother with that mouth?
What we do to each other for money is so bad. I can't imagine scarring someone with such unbridled depravity. It's like the world understood at the same time that ai will fulfill every darkest flutter they ever were unable to manifest.
Impulse economy.
@zackwhittaker Can't believe this is what big tech is spending trillions of dollars on to displace people for energy sucking data centers, over priced hardware for consumers. That money could have been spent on housing, food, health, education, addiction and recovery and mental health resources.
@zackwhittaker This stuff is not intelligence. It’s just fancy computer-aided imagery that’s good at distorting the truth. But the warning here is that the distortion of the truth doesn’t end at women’s bodies but whatever the user wants in order to twist facts and reality. All it will accomplish is to make the average person uncomfortable in their own body and lead them to think they can’t change anything in the world around them. Hopelessness and depression result.
Definitely not progress.
