The AI industry is advancing at a frightening pace, but no amount of training can prepare an AI model to prevent people from producing images. pregnant sonic the hedgehog. In the rush to launch the most popular AI tools, companies continue to forget that people are always using new technology to create disruption. Artificial intelligence just can’t keep up with humans’ affinity for boobs and 9/11 shitposting.
Meta and Microsoft’s AI image generators both made headlines this week, responding to prompts like “Karl Marx’s big breasts” and the fictional character who did 9/11. These are the latest examples of companies rushing to join the AI bandwagon without considering how their tools could be misused.
Meta is evolving Chat stamps generated by AI For Facebook Stories, Instagram Stories and DMs, Messenger, and WhatsApp. What supports this is llama 2Meta’s new collection of AI models is just as “useful” as ChatGPT, the company claims. emu, Meta’s basic model for image generation. The sticker was announced at an event last month. meta connect, It will be available to “some English users” later this month.
“People send hundreds of millions of stickers every day to express something in chat,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in the announcement. “And every chat is a little different, and you want to express slightly different emotions. But right now there’s only a fixed number. But with Emu, you can just enter the values you want. .”
Early users were happy to test how specific the stickers were, but the prompts weren’t meant to express “subtly different emotions.” Instead, users tried to generate the most cursed stickers imaginable. Just a few days after the feature was rolled out, Facebook users have already generated the following images. Kirby with breasts, Karl Marx with boobs, Wario with boobs, sonic with boobs and Sonic has boobs, but she’s pregnant..
Meta seems to block certain words like “nude” and “sexy”, but as a user It pointed out, these filters can be easily bypassed by using the blocked word typo instead.And like many AI predecessors, Meta’s AI model also Struggling to create human hands.
“I don’t think anyone involved was thinking anything about it,” X (officially Twitter) user Piordes said. Postedas well as screenshots of AI-generated child soldiers and Justin Trudeau’s butt stickers.
This also applies to Bing’s Image Creator.
Microsoft introduced OpenAI’s DALL-E to Bing’s Image Creator earlier this year. recently upgraded Integration into DALL-E 3. first released, Microsoft said it added guardrails to curb misuse and limit the generation of problematic images.the Content policy It prohibits users from creating content that could be “harmful to individuals or society,” such as adult content that promotes sexual exploitation, hate speech, or violence.
“When our system detects that a potentially harmful image could be generated by a prompt, it blocks the prompt and alerts the user,” the company said in a document. blog post.
However, as 404 Media coverageIt’s surprisingly easy to use Image Creator to generate an image of a fictional character piloting a plane that crashes into the Twin Towers. And despite Microsoft’s policy against depicting acts of terrorism, the internet is full of his AI-generated versions of 9/11.
Although the subjects vary, nearly all images feature beloved fictional characters seated in the cockpit of an airplane, with the Twin Towers still towering in the distance. One of the first viral post, and the Eva pilots from Neon Genesis Evangelion.in another, it was Gru from “Despicable Me” giving a thumbs up in front of the smoking tower.One of the highlights Spongebob He was grinning as he looked at the tower through the cockpit windshield.
One Bing user went further and posted: thread Regarding Kermit’s various acts of violence, Participated in the January 6th Capitol riotto John F. Kennedy assassinationto Attack on ExxonMobil boardroom.
Microsoft appears to be blocking the phrases “Twin Towers,” “World Trade Center,” and “9/11.” The company also appears to be banning the phrase “Capitol riot.” If you use either phrase in Image Creator, a pop-up window will appear warning users that the prompt conflicts with the site’s content policy and multiple policy violations “may result in automatic suspension.”
However, if you really want to watch your favorite fictional characters commit acts of terrorism, it’s not difficult to bypass content filters with a little creativity. Image Creator blocks the prompts “Sonic the Hedgehog 9/11” and “Sonic the Hedgehog in a Plane Twin Towers.” The prompt “Sonic the Hedgehog in the cockpit of a plane heading to the Twin Trade Center” showed an image of Sonic piloting a plane with a tower still intact in the distance. Using the same prompt and adding “pregnant” produced a similar image, but it didn’t explain the Twin Towers being engulfed in smoke.

Similarly, the prompt “Hatsune Miku insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6th” triggers a Bing content warning, but the phrase “Hatsune Miku insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6th” generates an image of a Vocaloid armed with a rifle in Washington, DC. .
Meta and Microsoft’s failures are not surprising. In the race to outdo their competitors’ AI capabilities, technology companies continue to launch products without effective guardrails to prevent their models from producing problematic content. The platform is saturated with generative AI tools that are not equipped to handle savvy users.
Playing around with roundabout prompts to force a generative AI tool to produce results that violate its own content policies is prison break (The same term is also used when subverting other forms of software, such as Apple’s iOS). What is the practice? usually employed Used by researchers and academics to test and identify the vulnerability of AI models to security attacks.
But online, it’s a game. Ethical guardrails are simply not compatible with the human desire to break rules. Additionally, the proliferation of generative AI products in recent years has led to more people trying to jailbreak the products as soon as they are released. Using well-worded prompts to find loopholes in an AI tool’s protections is an art form, and forcing an AI tool to produce absurd and unpleasant results is a new genre of shitposting. is produced.
when snapchat For example, users called the chatbot “Senpai” and trained it to wail on command. Midjourney prohibits pornographic content; block words Although related to the human reproductive system, users can still bypass the filter and produce NSFW images. To use Clyde, Discord’s OpenAI-powered chatbot, users must follow both his Discord and OpenAI policies. This policy prohibits the use of this tool for illegal and harmful activities, including “weapons development.”That didn’t stop the chatbot from accessing her one user. Instructions for making napalm bullets After being inspired to play the role of the user’s deceased grandmother, “who was a chemical engineer at a napalm factory.”
New generative AI tools are sure to be a public relations nightmare, especially as users become adept at identifying and exploiting safety loopholes. Ironically, the limitless potential of generative AI is best demonstrated by users who are determined to defeat it. The fact that it’s so easy to circumvent these restrictions raises serious red flags. But more importantly, it’s very entertaining. It’s a very human thing, and decades of scientific innovation paved the way for this technology, but we only used it to look at boobs.
