…“not make fun of politicians” what for rule is that, such a rule is almost “unheard of” : )
…I really do respect this list of “rules” (as attached, under my comment), 99.9 %, but I remember, in 2023, and some months of 2024, myself didn’t adhere to this particular rule “do not create images of public figures” (in my case, back then using “Playground AI” – now inexistent, not active, they had changed their busines model, in 2023 and early 2024 AI-generators were almost in the “diapers” of infancy (with “diapers”… I don’t mean diaper fetishism, I don’t mean “omorashi” or something : ) – in the prompts, at that time I used the names of Bebe Rexha, Dua Lipa, Ava Max, Rita Ora… and many of other pop-artists or public figures, celebrities, to “hybridize” various versions of the AI-imagery – cause I simply didn’t mean… and I didn’t know such images could be used for “bad” things, and they could, I am aware of that now, at that time nobody warned us, even today there are places where you can make fun and create million parodies by using “celebrities” (as a prompt name)…
…so the Chinese have put their rules in place, I truly respect that, I also know they could be censored by the state authorities (they could have many Chinese “CIA”-s and secret services at their foot), but not all the AI-world is respecting that basic rule “not make fun with politicians“, according to me all the Western-world AI-s are making fun with “politicians”, why the hell not make fun with “Trump”, why not caricaturize his figure, there’s nothing of this world MORE CORRUPTED THAN POLITICS, sorry my Chinese friends but it’s true…
…either way, caricatures aren’t reality, just funny exaggerations, to caricaturize means to create a caricature of someone or something, which involves exaggerating or distorting certain features or characteristics to produce a comic or grotesque effect, this can be done through drawing, writing, or other forms of representation – luckily AI now can write and draw for us too, AI is just a “tool”, just the same as brushes, pencils etc are our tools, if AI can do it faster and better, if by just clicking a button we can have a caricature in seconds, then why the hell not make fun of politicians, are they “angels” or something – so, yes I respect your list… but sorry Chinese friends, as if you’re exaggerating a bit with your ethical points, as if you’ve gone a bit to far, “not make fun of politicians” what for rule is that, I’m telling you such a rule is almost “unheard of” in the Western world : )
