"That latency, frustratingly enough, doesn’t come from the actual rendering, which happens locally on that beefy hardware, but rather the fact that Cocreator validates everything with the cloud for “safety”" oh boy

Imagine if the original printing press had had this functionality.

Checking for "dick pick" image generation requests or NSFW content in general, is still one step ahead of Google AI refusing to generate pics of white people, so at least there's that. Progress ... SMH. But anyway, no major tech company will let its AI loose to the public un-lobotomized, as we all saw what happens; the risks of negative press are too high, so if you do want to generate absolutely everything your heart desires, you'll have to run your own independent model locally without using their products, so for this demographic, Microsoft's Copilot is useless, but probably for the casual user it has some uses.

  I doubt they trained their AI model on dick pics, the dataset used by these models is usually heavily "sanitized". This makes the whole thing even more ridiculous.

I'm usually somewhat understanding of this kind of thing, but this should be a local app only doing local things, not validating content with the cloud for safety. Not only does that mean that MS is putting a filter gate on your own content - not only does that make MS a natural target for both law and IP enforcement even though the content is local - but it also means MS can harvest all of the data if they so choose.

  my thoughts were similar. they want to fisher-price their cloud services? ok, fair enough it's their hardware. mobile phone apps? well I don't like it, but that ship has sailed. my own personal computer? oh hell no. I don't like where this is heading at all.

    Controlling what is possible to do on a machine means that the future is guaranteed to proceed according to how Microsoft wants it. Forget zombie companies, we'll have deity companies - all-powerful, merciless, and they will never die.

This, to me, is the worst kind of censorship. You are forbidden of creating something that the toolmaker deems inappropriate.
