Grok targeted in UK law over sexually-explicit AI image generation — UK will begin prosecuting illegal prompting this week

passivecool This is such a difficult and nuanced topic. It has been smashed down upon society before even 25% know what it is all about. should i be allowed to capture snapshot pic of anyone, anywhere and be able , be allowed , to post an AI sex video thereof online? If you say yes, then pls send me your photo. I have never tried such things yet, but I am happy to ruin your rep and destroy your professional existence.

Notton Though I applaud the UK for leading the charge against pdf files and CSAM… Let me guess, the investigators will hit a few snags , because let's be honest, you aren't allowed to touch the Elite, Royalty, or their property. Especially in the UK. Reply
