How about sexual exploitation?

“AI has the potential to play a role in combating sexual exploitation by improving detection, prevention, and support measures. Here are a few examples of how AI can be used to address sexual exploitation:

Identifying and monitoring high-risk situations: AI can be used to analyze patterns of behavior and identify signs of potential sexual exploitation, such as patterns of communication or transactions. For example, AI could be used to analyze online activity to detect potential cases of sex trafficking.

Improving detection and reporting: AI can be used to detect and report sexual exploitation by identifying explicit content or suspicious behavior. For example, AI could be used to detect and flag explicit images or videos on social media platforms.

Providing support to victims: AI could be used to provide support and resources to victims of sexual exploitation, such as connecting them with hotlines or support services. For example, chatbots or virtual assistants could be used to provide information and support to victims.  Preventing exploitation: AI can be used to help prevent sexual exploitation by identifying and addressing the root causes of vulnerability. For example, AI could be used to identify patterns of poverty or abuse that may make individuals more vulnerable to sexual exploitation.

It is important to note that AI should be used in conjunction with other strategies to effectively combat sexual exploitation. Additionally, it is crucial that AI is used in a responsible and ethical manner, with appropriate privacy protections and consideration of potential biases in its algorithms.”

I actually kind of agree. Transformer architecture isn't the complicated part, it's the nueral networks held by large companies and governments which are very expensive. It's easy to see such tech remaining in the hands of the powerful, but I'm not convinced that's going to be the case in the near future.

There are already proven examples of this technology being completely open source. Stability AI is already leaps and abounds ahead of DALLE-2 for example.

When GPT and chatbots get nerfed, it will drive more people to seek out open source options. DALLE-2 is a locked out system and will likely be a payed platform, yet stable diffusion is open source and utilises a users own backend. I'm not sure big corps will be able to keep up.

However, my concern is the sophistication of the nueral networks that are no doubt classified, most definitely in the hands of government and military.

Let’s ask Chat Gpt - can ai help stop exploitation”:

“AI has the potential to help stop exploitation by improving detection and prevention measures, and by providing tools to support vulnerable populations. Some ways that AI could be used to help combat exploitation include:

  1. Identifying and monitoring high-risk situations: AI can be used to analyze large amounts of data to detect patterns and identify areas of high risk for exploitation. For example, AI could be used to analyze social media activity to detect potential cases of human trafficking.

  2. Improving detection of exploitation: AI can be used to analyze patterns of behavior and identify signs of exploitation that may be missed by humans. For example, AI could be used to analyze financial transactions to detect potential cases of money laundering or fraud.

  3. Providing support to victims: AI could be used to provide support to victims of exploitation by connecting them with resources and providing information on their rights. For example, chatbots and virtual assistants could be used to provide information and support to victims.

  4. Preventing exploitation: AI can be used to prevent exploitation by identifying and addressing the root causes of vulnerability. For example, AI could be used to identify areas of high unemployment and poverty and provide resources to help address those issues.

While AI has the potential to help stop exploitation, it is important to consider the ethical implications of its use and ensure that it is used in a responsible and transparent manner. Additionally, it is important to recognize that AI is not a silver bullet solution and must be used in conjunction with other strategies to effectively combat exploitation.”

im coming here because I'm desperate and I don't know where else to look for help.

I can't stitch videos that have the "stitch" feature on. Meaning that if a content creator on TikTok allows others to stitch their videos, whenever I try I get this error message: "Couldn't download. Try again later". I've been having the same error message for more than two weeks. I've updated the app, deleted it and re-install it several times, and even rebooted my cellphone, but nothing!

I've Googled everywhere, asked around, even reported the problem directly with TikTok, and nothing!

They link the report from the survey, which includes the efforts they went through, which I already mentioned, to ensure it isn’t some bullshit survey like you see on IG. This is how actual scientific polling is done. I’ve already given you two examples of how accurate this school is in conducting their polls. If you want to wallow in ignorance, go ahead, but please wallow silently.

If can be used for either - good or evil. And the powerful and rich can’t contain what they let out of Pandora’s box. At least not forever. Basic technology could already expose a lot of exploitation and abuse. Even the IRS alone could be using it already to find red flags in the rich. It’s a choice not to use tech for Good

But it’s definitely a two edged sword. Usually it’s used for the greedy to exploit and withhold the truth
