Basically every person who thought about this for even 10 seconds warned google this was going to happen. Google's entire incentive structure is monetization-via-ranking-via-SEO-&-clicks. People are clicking "AI" porn, & people Making "AI" porn are manipulatively lying in their SEO to drive traffic

Do we think Google cares anymore if their product does what it claims, so long as it makes money? I assume they don't care, given all the warnings they ignored.

How many people internally in Google will have warned of this and been, at best, ignored, or, at worst, demoted or worse?

In Australian news this morning, 50 teenage girls from the same school have had their photos put through β€œAI” generators in the worst way.

So, not just celebrities this affects. Any young woman now lives in fear of finding abusive images when searching her name.
