The themes chosen by Re-impressionists were also in challenge to the #AI-based censorship, exploring so-called NSFW themes that would be aggressively censored by cloud services which monopolized terra- and peta-byte generative models. "Not Safe For Who?"

Pixel patterns cause image blur for corporations using uncurated datasets
By
–
The use of these pixel patterns resulted in increasingly blurred images throughout the 2020s for corporations still using uncurated and infringing web-scale datasets — as opposed to the industry standard datasets based on opt-in consent.

Adversarial Pixel Patterns Outside Natural Image Manifold
By
–
In particular, the pixel patterns used were specifically not on the "manifold" of natural images — thus making it difficult for algorithms such as Latent Diffusion to generate good results. Ironically, optimization techniques were used to find these adversarial pixel patterns!

Lack of Transparency and Editing Challenges in AI Models

Not necessarily overfitting, but lack of transparency and easy editing are the major things. See previous thread:

Organizational AI adoption challenges and malicious threat mitigation

Yeah, and don't get me wrong, this is very cool work! And I know you folks know these things. But
1. I think there's a lot of people who don't and just hope for a "silver bullet" and
2. Getting organizational buy-in seems tricky, particularly with malicious parties out there. -
Open Source AI Models and Regulatory Frameworks Need Society Agreement
By
–
I'm also cautious about rogue model designers who don't play by the rules. At least for the time being, it seems like the community is very good at making open source alternatives to proprietary models. We'd need to agree as a society that certain things should be off limits.

Model Designers and Users Share AI Safety Responsibility
By
–
Definitely! With cooperation from model designers, there's hope. But like I said, if all the burden is on the users alone? Then I'm not so hopeful.

Rich People Power and Organizational Resistance Strategies

Let's say no in case one of them is listening 😉 More seriously whether you're a for-profit, non-profit, public or private, the truth is that rich people can always mess with you. Hopefully they won't and we'll try to resist if they do!

Image Sanitization Safety Against Advanced AI Models
By

Nice article by @KyleBarr5
. I gave my perspective (really, the perspective of Radiya-Dixit et al. https://
arxiv.org/abs/2106.14851): users sanitizing and releasing their own images seems hopeless. It may be safe today, but it probably won't be safe against a smarter model a year from now. -
AI Impersonation Service Creates Identity Fraud Problems

Who could have possibly predicted that selling the ability to impersonate anyone for a few hours for $8 would result in problems with "impersonation issues"?
