it’s hard to follow advances in ai image generation because every post is about jailbreaking the ai to create porn. and every comment is about some guy’s funny bro who jailbreaked actual women to get laid, in all the same ways they manipulate the ai prompts (lying, gaslighting, emotional blackmail). and then the jokes. and then the complete absence of any replies saying WHAT THE FUCK. where are the men who say what the fuck?? do you know a man who claims to be an ally? where is he.

I understand your frustration and that shit should be bannable offenses, there’s a lot of incel douchebags on the internet, who are especially attracted to the disgusting and inconceivable nature of that stuff.
I avoid those places because I know I ain’t changing minds online. In person, as a coach, I can check behavior and influence thinking person-to-person.
Had an instance where me, as a half-Asian, had a high school kid (Anglo-white) exclaim about being a proud racist. I calmly asked him why, pinned him down to terrible reasoning (he was “racist” b/c his friend is Italian, however knowing this kid that’s just a facade) and proceeded to make him explain his reasoning, refuting his points calmly with facts, and then providing examples of how racism is harmful.
I do the same thing, I live in a red state, when these boys use sexist and harmful sayings or make generalizations about women. I make them think about their mothers and sisters, and remind them that women deserve respect as well.
AI selects for sleazeballs because of the crowd producing it and the crowd perpetrating it. I wouldn’t touch that space with a ten foot pole. 🥲
I’d be tempted to throw the occasional grenade in there: “oh I suppose you all call yourselves the good guys when people are talking about all men, right?” then sit back with popcorn 🍿
