Key insights of today’s newsletter: Shane Jones, a Principle Software Engineering Lead at Microsoft, blows the whistle after repeated concerns about the company’s AI image generator were ignored by senior management. Despite the concerns raised, Microsoft decided not to remove Copilot Designer from public use or add appropriate disclosures to the product.
Interesting observations, both on sexualising images of women (in Stability AI I have tried including in the prompt “normal breasts” and “not large breasts“ and I’m still served up over inflated images that I want to avoid).
Also that Microsoft has so few people in its vast army on payroll available to review and resolve dangerous image making - sadly this is evidence that in the halter shelter race for leadership in Gen AI, profit is the overriding motive. For those of us with elections this year, the outlook for bad actors involved could not be improved.
