Softcore gilf porn created by an AI to sell state lottery tickets wasn't on my cards for 2024, but here we are.

[–] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

If it was on anyone's cards, they should win a cash prize. Like a lottery of some sort.

[–] BuryMyHorse@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Disgusting! Where?

Megan feared that the image could potentially get out

So here it is in a news article...

[–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean, they covered her face which is the only part that's actually her. I'm assuming she provided it for demonstration purposes, and her underlying point was that it absolutely can do harm.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

You're right. I just thought it was a funny juxtaposition.

[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

To be fair, KTTH is barely news.

“Our tax dollars are paying for that! I was completely shocked. It’s disturbing to say the least,” Megan explained to the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.

I mean, I'd assume that the state lottery is revenue-positive. It's more like lottery players are paying for it.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 19 points 10 months ago

Well, the lottery is known as the poor tax, so I guess they're not completely wrong.

AI hallucinates a request for a topless photo. Nothing fundamentally wrong with this technology at all. Keep pouring billions into it.

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 8 points 10 months ago

It must be intelligent after all!

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 34 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can we talk less about AI inevitably doing what AI always dies and fuck up and instead talk about the website that uses AI resources to dangle an even more juicy carrot in front of desperate people throwing away their money with the lottery?

[–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

“I also think whoever was responsible for it should be fired,” she added

Seriously, fire everyone in the chain who had direct knowledge it was going to happen and can't provide documented proof that they said how absolutely insanely fucking awful the idea was.

Image generation is cool technology, and while it (and LLMs even more) is limited and super oversold in terms of what it can do, I'm not anti-AI. But this is fucked up without the sex part.

I can't verify this story with any reputable sources. Is this real or just boomerbait?

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

This site is a complete right-wing boomerbait rag, never pay it any attention.

People think of WA and think of Seattle, then extrapolate. Seattle is really no different than places like Omaha where there is a more liberal, educated populace. They are surrounded by a state full of angry, ignorant people. This "newspaper" is for the angry types.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 18 points 10 months ago

The "test drive a win" where it would generate AI images of people as lottery winners was a real thing, and they have taken it down.

Only larger news outlet I see covering it is Fox news. They cite the "mynorthwest.com" as their main source, but they do say that they recieved a statement from the lottery confirming that it was shutdown for that reason:

Washington's Lottery confirmed to Fox News Digital that it shut down the site after being made aware of the purported image.

Obviously a lot of people don't like Fox news, but I don't think there's a political agenda where that statement shouldn't be trusted.

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

My Gen z and millennial friends are shockingly gullible and ignorant.

[–] Pissnpink@feddit.uk 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Idk, Mynorthwest is a real source but it's mostly dull local news fare with a some good event coverage. KIRO is that branch and its okay, its center right, it certianly isn't the cinclair broadcasting station, thats komo 4. 710 sports is more center left but its sports. 770 KTTH where this article seems to be coming from is obviously garbage reactionary conservative radio, but that's what makes money in radio.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 24 points 10 months ago

Lol, they didn't even try to test the system if this is the result. Ai isn't intelligent but humans still take the cake of stupidity by having brains and not using them.

Many public stable diffusion models have a bias, porn often being overrepresented but all it takes is a "nude, naked, erotic, sex, nsfw " in the negative prompt and unless the model is build to only generate porn this will never happen. Or better yet, use some of that corporate money and build their own sd model that is verified to not included any nudity in its training data.

Is it sad the first thing i noticed is she has 6 fingers on her right hand?

[–] IggyTheSmidge@kbin.social 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It depends - are you Inigo Montoya?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

But only four knuckles, so that's nice.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

Why wouldn't they just generate a couple hundred images and manually review them? It's pretty easy to automate putting someone's face onto an existing image, so that should be totally fine.

They could cycle the images every so often with the insane amounts of money the lottery generates.

That's hilarious.

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

This is what happens when companies use AI for dumb shit.

[–] TypicalHog@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Imagine playing lottery...

[–] boatsnhos931@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago

Ahh I love technology.. however I need the uncensored image to investigate further...in private..for 30-45 seconds..
