Just wanted to touch up on this subject after getting attacked on Twitter a lot by AI supporters.
A warning, it is a news report about Children… I think you can read in-between the lines…

It is frightening, I left Pixia over the flood of AI C nastiness, and now finding out it is basically the actual source for many of them… Ugh…

I just had to share this information to vent out how much I hate AI generator users.

Ew
And idiots don't realise these things aren't “generated” out of thin air, the systems just aren't that clever. There's a 100% chance it was fed REAL images of that to train on.

A specialist in the field actually came in to verify that, and yeah they are using photos to feed the machine to bypass Japanese laws on “created” ick.
I know it sounds conspiracy theory like but let's be honest, many of these users had shown no moral backbone and are greedy, this is how they are actually making their money with it.
Plus when confronted with the facts so many will hmm, haw, yaw before resorting to calling one a furry or a weeb with every negative and saying but defending themselves with, “not all…”
Sorry to post thing but I wanted to bring this to light somehow and Twitter is not a good place to do that.

Read the article. More than a third were recognized as real people even though the images were supposedly “AI generated” Just like the whole issue in the SAG/AFSTRA strike.
