    I’ve already seen people go absolutely fucking crazy with this - from people posting trans-supportive Muskrat pictures to people making fucked-up images with Nintendo/Disney characters, the utter lack of guardrails has led to predictable chaos.

    Between the cost of running an LLM and the potential lawsuits this can unleash, part of me suspects this might end up being what ultimately does in Twitter.

      lotta this is being used for blatantly political speech, really DIY editorial cartoons, e.g. the image we used

      its eagerness to give you a school shooting, not so much

      I get why this is bad, but gimp is free for years and you can make whatever you want with it. Is it just that these AI programs need no skill at all? Where do you draw the line here?

        why do I need to know where to “draw the line” when something clearly sucks shit?

        > billionaire funds the mass production of vampires

        > “look, people have been eating meat for ages. where do you draw the line? you can’t say this is bad unless you draw the line”

        It’s also an accountability issue. If you create something in GIMP or whatever everyone agrees that you did that and are responsible for any copyright issues or defamation or whatever else arises from that work. That becomes fuzzier when people start saying “Grok made this!” Especially because Grok does operate according to a model that can and does go beyond whatever it’s been instructed to do, so you might be able to plausibly argue that if you craft the prompt right.

        And I can guarantee that the cesspool formerly known as Twitter will try to play whichever side of that is more advantageous to them. Copyright infringement? That’s on the user. Unique IP? Well, Grok had a profound and independent creative role and so we deserve a piece.
