A few days ago X introduced a new AI Image Editing button that lets any user modify images posted by others, even without the original uploader’s consent. Image owners are not notified when edits are made, and the feature is enabled by default with no opt-out option (at least not so far).
How are people still using this shithole
Racism.
ive kept my acct so I can go read shit there when I want to see what someone wrote for a specific reason.
this’d be the camel’s straw for my account as I used to post creative stuff
I use xcancel.com for that.
oh right, took me a moment. you can see tweets without an account with this?
Yes
Sometimes…
“read replies” prompts for log-on though.
Is Corey Doctorow racist? Molly White? Joe Biden? AOC? Bernie?No.
The correct answer is Social Graph.
There’s this other thing called Bluesky.
What does that have to do with anything?
They could be using a platform that isn’t owned by a Nazi. Best approach though is using zero of them because fuck social media.
Yes but they’re on Xitter, because Social Graph.
Fair enough. They’re trying to reach the broadest audience they can. The sad part is the folks that will actually listen and give a shit is a dwindling number on Xitter. They’re better off posting to both if not already. A massive swath of users that would be more receptive moved to Bluesky or left social media entirely.
Apathy
Addiction

No different to saving the image, making the changes, reuploading
Maybe even better if the credits to the original are preserved
Yeah, but people are using Grok to put everyone in bikinis (or replace clothes with a string of dental floss) with “donut glazing” over their bodies. Sometimes Grok undresses people without even being prompted to - some people ask for a change of facial expression on a selfie and get a nude. I’m pretty sure this will land Xhitter in hot water with the EU once again, and maybe they finally just block this hellhole (one can dream)
I tried exactly this (including dental floss) and it refused to generate nudity, at most I could get a barbie doll looking figure. Seems fine to me
They seem to have tried to fix this, but like all LLM’s, there’s probably a way around that.
It’s different in that it’s now just one click away. The harder it is to do the less it would be abused.
Photoshop = barrier to entry
Grok = instant access
Omg what horror. Have you discovered that you can click and drag any image from anywhere into photo editing software or ChatGPT or the likes? Whatever shall we do?! We have to make images uneditable somehow. This is a complete tragedy.
For real, why should I care?
If people figure out how to not use social media, the world would be in shambles
So that means I can edit a lot of Elon’s pictures?
And he encouraged others to do so. It is almost like this is a bigger issue for women or girls for some reason. I’m probably sexist for noticing.
TIL: People still use X.
About half a billion of them. And counting.
With decent prompting skills, someone who knows what they’re doing has an easy time fabricating realistic looking photographs that are nearly indistinguishable from real life. We’re entering a post-truth era.
