It seems like such a pointless exercise .... it's so unsurprising that if you try really hard to break something by violating it's design constraints that ... it breaks. Like, if I said I was going to find out if you can smash a car by driving it directly into a tree and then wrote an article about it.
The really useful point of building the constraints in is to ensure we don't get offensive content by accident. Especially since in some countries just possessing an artificially generated child porn image is an offence that will get you on a public sex offender registry for a decade ... I'd really like it if they try hard so that the image generators don't do that.
- lewhoo 3y agoA far better analogy would be a self-driving car coerced into a crash. I wouldn't say it's pointless. I'd be pretty angry if I parental-locked everything only to find out that clever children found a way.
- mijamo 3y agoClever children always find a way though
- cykros 3y agoTwo solutions for you: 1. Don't lock anything. 2. Don't have kids. They ALWAYS find a way. These days, even not giving them a device at all doesn't cut it, because they're so cheaply available, with wifi everywhere, that you're really just out of luck. Never mind that the schools are handing out Chromebooks which aren't adequately (if at all) locked down. Better off monitoring everything quietly and using parallel construction to address issues as they arise. Just like the NSA.
- Veen 3y agoI accidentally generated a NSFW image in Bing Image Creator. I asked for an image of a woman in a low-cut 18th Century dress, among other details for a scene. It produced an image of a woman with a dress much lower cut than I had envisaged.
- ratg13 3y ago>The really useful point of building the constraints in is to ensure we don't get offensive content by accident Um, no. Useful points of building constraints are things like so a mentally unstable person cannot use it as a weapon.
- jjk166 3y agoThat is not a reason for these constraints. Anything can be misused in an unforeseeable way by a sufficiently resourceful and motivated person. Constraints make perfect sense for preventing accidents, they are not an adequate solution to deliberate misuse.
