Why does it having the ability to do something has mean it is ‘unusable’ in a professional setting?
Is it generating CP when given benign prompts? Or is it misinterpreting normal prompts and generating CP?
There are a LOT of tools that we use at work that could be used to do horrible things. A knife in a kitchen could be used to kill someone. The camera on our laptop could be used to take pictures of CP. You can write death threats with your Gmail account.
We don’t say knives are unusable in a professional setting because they have the capability to be used in crime. Why does AI having the ability to do something bad mean we can’t use it at all in a professional setting?
Because corporate aint gonna approve the vendor that lets their dumbass employees generate child porn when the other vendors do not.
This still doesn’t make any sense. If they are worried a dumbass employee would generate CP using the tool, wouldn’t that same employee also download it from the web? Or use a web based tool to generate it?
Any employee that is going to use a corporate AI tool to generate CP is going to use other corporate tools to do worse things. There is no point in worrying about it.
Your boss tells you to choose a vendor for your AI integration. Your options:
Company A - First to the market, Reasonable Cost, Most well known name. Very easy integration.
Company B - Well regarded tools, Higher cost, Better performance and reviews from team. More difficult to integrate
Company C - Reasonably Priced, Performance is reasonable, Has a connection to an extremely controversial individual, Currently being lambasted for being an CP/Revenge Porn generator
Ok, now pretend you're talking to a guy who signs your paycheques. Which one are you NOT gonna pick?
