A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

No different to saving the image, making the changes, reuploading
Maybe even better if the credits to the original are preserved
Yeah, but people are using Grok to put everyone in bikinis (or replace clothes with a string of dental floss) with "donut glazing" over their bodies. Sometimes Grok undresses people without even being prompted to - some people ask for a change of facial expression on a selfie and get a nude. I'm pretty sure this will land Xhitter in hot water with the EU once again, and maybe they finally just block this hellhole (one can dream)
For those unaware, this includes images of children. It's about time we decide who is held responsible for this
I tried exactly this (including dental floss) and it refused to generate nudity, at most I could get a barbie doll looking figure. Seems fine to me
They seem to have tried to fix this, but like all LLM's, there's probably a way around that.
Photoshop = barrier to entry
Grok = instant access
It's different in that it's now just one click away. The harder it is to do the less it would be abused.
