I'd doubt he wants to ban it but any PM doing nothing about noncing is going to be in the firing line

He is doing nothing about actual noncing though.

Musk’s X could be banned in Britain over AI chatbot row

Sir Keir Starmer brands deepfakes on social media site ‘disgusting and not to be tolerated’

In fairness I do think two tier kier has a point here about the grok AI generated images. But I also fear it maybe the excuse they are looking for to ban X.

So I think the X / grok team / musk need to get their act together and sort out the AI generated image functionality to stop people abusing it for the things they are using it for.

Politically motivated, without a doubt.

Looks like they have responded now and only paid subscriptions can access the image editing functionality.

Elon Musk's X climbs down in row with Labour after threats of UK ban

'It's unlawful. We're not going to tolerate it. I've asked for all options to be on the table,' Prime Minister Keir Starmer said of the offending content

Ridiculous!

So now you need to pay Musk before you can produce insulting and hurtful images.

All this proves is that X can move quickly if they want to. Free speech excuses are nonsense. To make sure that your technology, or platform, is not used by people to produce images that are regarded as illegal in any country that has so determined, is simply a matter of compliance with the law. Law breakers suffer penalties.

Nope, just pointing out the truth. My shins have suffered much worse abuse than the stuff handed out here. I’m married.

Exactly! X acted fast to comply with laws and curb misuse, which proves they take responsibility seriously.

Requiring a subscription with real identity/payment details attached adds accountability that free anonymous tools don't have.

It's not "pay to insult" it's pay to access powerful tools responsibly, while reducing spam/abuse from throwaway accounts.

Hopefully now the UK government can take action on other AI generated image companies.

You shouldn't let your wife peg you. That's abuse

Keep up Grandad.

My wife wasn’t the moderator. She is though a Catholic.

I became a Grandad 34 years ago. Keep up.

I am now a Great Grandad. 3 times. The oldest being 11.

That’s not the reasoning I have heard from them, but if it’s true and they now start to remove any offensive images before they get posted, ban those making them and sending their details to the authorities for follow up action then that will work.

I have no doubt that the same standards apply to all.

Wow it must be painful to give musk your approval 🤦

Since AI can be manipulated can we expect no more quotes from ChatGPT to appear on here?

If X were pro-Labour it would be taught in schools.

I am not. I don’t believe that’s his intentions but if it is then it could work. Time alone will tell.

That AI can produce offensive images doesn’t mean its capacity to research and present isn’t a useful tool. I have used ChatGPT in a variety of ways and the results are always impressive.

So it depends on what is asked. If offensive requests are made, and answered, then you will get offensive answers. Reasonable requests get reasonable answers.

I asked it when Starmer was last seen with his wife but plenty was redacted. No idea why I asked.
