In the days after the US Department of Justice (DOJ) published 3.5 million pages of documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, multiple users on X have asked Grok to “unblur” or remove the black boxes covering the faces of children and women in images that were meant to protect their privacy.
What you don’t think?
Why does being a parent give any authority in this conversation?
I have changed diapers and can attest to the anatomical differences between child and adult, and therefore know AI cannot extrapolate that difference without accurate data clarifying these differences. AI would hallucinate something absurd or impossible without real image data trained in its model.
We have all been children, we all know the anatomical differences.
It’s not like children are alien, most differences are just “this is smaller and a slightly different shape in children”. Many of those differences can be seen on fully clothed children. And for the rest, there are non-CSAM images that happen to have nude children. As I said earlier, it is not uncommon for children to be fully nude in beaches.
We are human beings. AI is not. It never had that experience of being or caring for a child. It does not (or should not) have that data in its dataset.
