> The most interesting part, to me, of a release like this is the amount of "please don't abuse this technology" pleading. > Why bother asking people not to? I guess if it helps you sleep at night that you tried, I guess? I've perceived this as them doing the necessary amount of virtue-signaling and ass-covering to avoid the ire of groups that are loud/powerful enough to cause issues for them in the short-term. I've been following the developments in this space for a while now, and I don't get the impression that Stability AI cares too much about forcing Western ideals of "correctness" onto the public. It's plainly obvious that this is going to be immediately used to produce content considered obscene, offensive and/or illegal by various groups of people. And it is what it is, we're going to just have to figure out how to live with it as a society. It's going to get far far worse (from certain points of view) as we continue to replicate functionality previously exclusively featured in human brains.

I never saw it create anything more NSFW than female boobs. It won't generate penises or genitals besides mounds of hair. Right now the "NSFW" flag/filter is 99%+ false positives. This is stuff that used to be allowed in G-rated movies in the US. True to both Stable Diffusion and Dalle2, the more encompassing the content of your image is, the more incorrect the detail is. Both generally will make fantastic faces but anatomy and consistency starts falling apart with full bodies. Contorted limbs, missing fingers, too many limbs, etc. No one is going to be fooled here. Of course the models could be trained on offensive images and over a long enough time period eventually will. But, for now, someone is going to have to spend millions of dollars on compute and have the human expertise behind it too. Then again, if we had an image generator making pictures of [insert X offensive thing] that is a whole lot less disgusting than the plentiful real photos and videos of that thing in reality.

  It feels sometimes that there has to be small, influential group of people on some jihad against generated pornography on the Internet, with impacts in the order of $10-100mil. I'm sure this is not a view shared by everyone, but it is a straightforward course of action to add such disclaimers in cases where you do agree with it and not wanting to be targeted and blacklisted from payment networks(that seems amongst their weaponry).
