“The use of generative AI tools to portray humans has posed persistent problems. … It turns out that a machine learning model needs to be trained on nudes – just like any human, by the way – to understand how human bodies usually hold together. …<\/p>\n
If one extends the promt to the title of \u00c9douard Manet’s famous painting The Luncheon on the Grass … [the] samples show a healthy dose of gay porn influence, paired with a wide-ranging inability (or unwillingness) to deal with boobs, hands or feet, or any other kind of joint. …<\/p>\n
These monsters are not issued from malfunction of technology – those times are past – but from the pictorial rules and legal and moral norms imposed by\/on digital industries. These rules are at once prude and sensationalist …<\/p>\n
There is, however, another way to interpret the missing limbs … Maybe these renderings portray peopole affected by thalidomide poisoning. … Thalidomide is a substance marketed in the 1950s by the West German pharmaceutical company Chemie Gr\u00fcnenthal. Sold (in Germany) under the name Contergan … it caused 10,000 babies … [being] born … with all kinds of congenutal health issues. Many died. …<\/p>\n
Chemie Gr\u00fcnenthal … hired a substantial number of former Nazi scientists with an astonishing combined criminal record … Many of these people responsible … got away with mass ‘murder’ not just once, but twice. Profits were privatised, and risks collectivised. …<\/p>\n
The missing limbs in the SD3 renderings … indicate that any mitigation efforts to prevent future health and social hazards created by profit maximisation within IA industries are currently woefully inadequate, if not missing altogether.”<\/p>\n
