Contractors say humans review Microsoft Copilot prompts and images
New from 404 Media: when you upload images to Copilot, they're not private. Human contractors are reviewing Copilot users' prompts/images, according to internal docs we got And they're horrified at what they're seeing. Bombarded with requests to make sexual AI images www.404media.co/humans-readi...
Joseph Cox84Crucially these contractors are not hired to filter out offensive content. They are hired to report whether Copilot successfully made a good AI image. So if the request is, make this person's breasts larger, they have to review based on whether it did or not. Insane www.404media.co/humans-readi...
class war puppet - block judge16People horrified to learn the non-consent machine is used most by people who cannot get consent. That about right?
Lyd Ⓥ4It’s infuriating that they hired people to validate the outputs of AI, not filter out obvious inappropriate images. They have the capability to stop these images and instead they’re verifying that these images satisfy the wants of an inappropriate person.
_aa_3I have a Google speaker next to my bed and I recently logged on to Gemini and every single question I ask my speaker is logged as a session. It was "OK Google what time is it" over and over thousands of times. I'm glad there's a human keeping an eye on that.
Litbowl2Just finished reading this in the newsletter. Jesus christ. Where is the line on expectation of privacy and "person committing sex crime and should be reported for it" here? (I understand on that level it's not wildly different than a situation with the same images in Google Drive or similar).
Coach Finstock90Not surprised one bit. While it's not the only use, I am willing to bet nearly all people that use AI in any capacity have done prompts like this. Everyone knows it's the CSAM machine. Feature not a bug for the creeps of the world.
hammancheez22Remember, when you work for Microsoft, we're one big family, and in this family we all work together to make the CSAM generation machine better with every iteration
Charlotte Garden15There's no way to make "being bombarded with horrifying images" an okay job -- but this work will inevitably be bad in other ways too. Low pay, unmanageable pace, no agency, etc.
[Christopher M. Federico]6"She-Hulk images come up a lot, the person who works on the prompts told 404 Media. Other contractors also wrote they were presented with pro-anorexia content."
Dave3But we still have to integrate AI into every part of the curriculum.
PS Cavanaugh2Pretty sick of all this!!
29 U.S.C. § 1572Ok this sounds bad. But alfalfa farms actually use more water, so
Xodanix32Like I said. Work computer I invested in made useless cuz they force this software.
Human contractors are reviewing Copilot users’ prompts and uploaded images, according to internal documents obtained by 404 Media. The contractors are also bombarded with users’ requests for sexual AI images.

Snigdha14Good to know we are building energy and water guzzling data centres, with all the noise and environmental damage caused so Copilot users can create materials to assist bashing the bishop. So worthwhile... 🙄🙄🙄
izzy kestrel11idk man i feel like we need some kind of rule like “if you haven’t heard a single positive story about a technology after a year, we take it behind the barn and shoot it” how many years have we been putting up with this shit? and it’s still “oops all misery”
JayIsPainting 🍁7Nothing you post to AI is private. Nothing you post to AI is secure. Also grow up.
Developer Soup3I'd have thought the Facebook video moderators experiences would have already taught us that looking directly into the void isn't healthy.
