This is more really important reporting here. It's not enough to just warn of the privacy risks, 404 is out there proving that it's actually happening. Also a reminder that what you upload to AI bots and whatnot is not private, and there's a real cost/toll on the people working behind the scenes. https://www.404media.co/humans-reading-copilot-prompts-images/

    @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social I can point to real things now when I'm preaching about digital privacy.

    @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social Can't believe this is what big tech is spending trillions of dollars on to displace people for energy sucking data centers, over priced hardware for consumers. That money could have been spent on housing, food, health, education, addiction and recovery and mental health resources.

    @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social it sucks for the reviews, but also humans are sexual animals in a world where violence is celebrated by sex is judged. I know consent is a huge problem, but I'm not at all surprised that people see AI as a safe place to experiment with their fantasies

    @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social Eesh, I'm a huge pervert and I've never even thought of doing this stuff. I prefer to keep it to the cartoons. No consent issues possible.

    @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social Best for everyone to assume anything you upload anywhere is public, unless the service explicitly states zero-knowledge encryption is used. And even then, only as far as you trust the company, which should never be too far. That also goes for anything said in the vicinity of any device using voice recognition.

    @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social This stuff is not intelligence. It’s just fancy computer-aided imagery that’s good at distorting the truth. But the warning here is that the distortion of the truth doesn’t end at women’s bodies but whatever the user wants in order to twist facts and reality. All it will accomplish is to make the average person uncomfortable in their own body and lead them to think they can’t change anything in the world around them. Hopelessness and depression result. Definitely not progress.

    @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social ...nicht zu vergessen, dass das Schlechte nicht nur aus einer Richtung kommen kann; die Gefahr bei #KI ist auch, dass "der Kunde bekommt was er will." (beliebteste Ausrede von Händlern und Unternehmern)
