"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”"
Adobe Photoshop already checks for currency/money. And their AI extensions certainly check for “inappropriate” material. And there is a disclaimer on their cloud storage service that it can be searched.
Photoshop isn't created by Microsoft which has a completely different corporate ethos than Adobe. Whataboutism doesn't really work regardless of how it is attempted.
All it would take is a tweet that says someone used MS Paint to do something that the MS AI system allowed them to create, and the internet would go into fits.
Weird since if image generation can run locally a simple classifier (eg clip) aught to be sufficient and run locally as well before presenting the image
It seems like a whole bunch of unnecessarily liability. Once you place yourself in the position of moderator of what people may use their computers for, you are arguably liable for failures of moderation.
To put it another way, nobody's ever sued Canon for making cameras which are used to take illegal photos, but if Canon suddenly started screening your photos to make sure they were acceptable per local laws or whatnot, they suddenly are actually a responsible party in the creation and distribution of whatever it is people use their cameras for.
If they want that they could easily have a local classifier and only upload suspected images for review. The fact that they're willing to slow down the experience for everyone implies that they're doing training or something.
Yeah that too. Sure plenty of tools could be used to retouch illegal pics and so on, but a court would probably see it differently if the model distributed by Microsoft is able to produce that on its own.
At the same time... F that, I don't want Microsoft nannying me.
