A few days ago people were replying to every image on Twitter saying "Grok, put him/her/it in a bikini" and Grok would just do it. It was minimum effort, maximum damage trolling and people loved it.
Ah. So, see, this is exactly why I need to check apparently.
Personally, I go between “I don’t care at all” and “well it’s not ideal” on AI generations. It’s already too late, but the barrier of entry is a lot lower than it was.
But I’m applying a good faith argument where GP does not seem to have intended one.
Reducing it to some people put people in bikinis for a couple days for the lulz is...not quite what happened.
You may note I am no shirking violet, nor do I lack perspective, as evidenced by my notes on Seedream. And fortuitiously, I only mentioned it before being dismissed as bad faith: I could not have foreseen needing to call out as credentials until now.
I don't think it's kind to accuse others of bad faith, as evidence by me not passing judgement on the person you are replying to's description.
I do admit it made my stomach churn a little bit to see how quickly people will other. Not on you, I'm sure I've done this too. It's stark when you're on the other side of it.
Nah it's been happening for months and involved kids, over and over, albeit for the same reasoning, lulz & totally based. I am a bit surprised that you thought this was just a PG-rated stunt on X for a couple days, it's been in the news for weeks, including on HN.
I see absolutely no citations. Can you point to anything that shows a specific Grok issue vs generally people doing icky things with photo generation software?
You can Google whatever you need yourself at this point, you told the world I was operating in bad faith based off one sentence from a stranger. You ignored my reply to you. And now you are engaging with me on another reply as if my claim was Grok is uniquely capable of this, when I in fact said the opposite, and the interesting part of the discussion was me pointing out all can do this. Have a good day!
I am of no party or clique, why would Elon be doing moderation anyway? He has better things to do. If anything, sounded understaffed and thus taken advantage of by ne’er do wells - you can check if I’m pivoting by noting I noted in my original post every model can do this and Grok being focused on was a strange aberration.
I feel pathetic defending myself to someone who keeps reading my mind in the blandest way possible, then accuses me of wrongthought I must have had, based on things I never said. Hard to believe you’re living up to your ideals in this moment if you’re a fellow advocate for truth seekers and great men. I respect interlocution, but not repeated personal attacks based on thoughts projected and things unsaid. That’s not truth seeking behavior.
