Sure, the developers said they hadn't seen the image and that they'd never seen the image generator do this and etc etc. That's regardless of the truth; there's no reality where they'd say anything else, and their word cannot be trusted. That's the point of an investigation. They have every incentive to make this disappear as quickly as possible. And, to be fair, its doubtful it would get very far; there's no evidence the aggrieved party wants to sue, she doesn't have the photo it generated, etc. I'm not standing on a soapbox arguing that the secret service should get involved or something. I'm just asserting that, it seems to me, we the people should care a bit more about this than we seem to be. Other people saying "its just a bug!" are incomprehensible to me; there's a spectrum between "your signin button is using the wrong hex code" and "your chemotherapy dispenser is outputting the wrong volume of medicine", and it is not obvious to me that this bug isn't closer to the right side of that spectrum than left. An engineer in the room might even know that these generative systems are capable of hallucinogenic, and sometimes even explicit, output; but they don't have the political capital to stop decision makers from deploying these systems, or underinvesting in safeguards, etc. That's why we need pushback, ideally lawsuits but at least public outcry; so decision makers treat the decision to use generative AI with the care and consideration it deserves.
