Fun's over, kids. As Windows Central reports, Microsoft appears to have lobotomized its Bing Image Creator.
The DALL-E 3-powered image-generating AI was integrated into Bing's platform last week, prompting netizens to quickly test its guardrails. As it turns out, those guardrails were incredibly ineffective, with users — 404 Media's Samantha Cole notable among them — quickly realizing that they were able to generate problematic, copyright-infringement-laden AI generations of beloved cartoon characters like Disney's Mickey Mouse doing things like wearing bomb-covered vests and perpetrating the 9/11 terror attacks.
I’m the kind of guy who’s loose enough to find this funny. But I can’t forget how that day felt. I think as a knee jerk reaction I can understand this, if not exactly love it. I think it’s the safe thing to do, as in that really extra layer of safe corporations like to do. It’ll get some updates, but I don’t think “lobotomized” is much more than a clickbait play.
