Publicly accessible LLM-based chatbots receive a ceaseless stream of requests from around the world for custom pornography, which in itself shouldn’t surprise anyone. But Joseph Cox at 404 Media has interviewed contractors who are now tasked by companies like Microsoft to judge whether the bots are generating lewd or suggestive images of acceptable accuracy and quality:

When a Copilot user uploads a picture of themselves or someone else, they probably expect that image to remain private between just them and the AI tool. In reality, a workforce of at least hundreds of human reviewers are sometimes looking at that prompt and whatever images they upload. […] These contractors are then asked to review whether the generated image successfully fulfilled the prompt — such as, did the image generator make the woman’s AI-enlarged breasts big enough.
