An AI company has been generating porn with gamers’ idle GPU time in exchange for Fortnite skins and Roblox gift cards
“some workloads may generate images, text or video of a mature nature”, and that any adult content generated is wiped from a users system as soon as the workload is completed.
However, one of Salad’s clients is CivitAi, a platform for sharing AI generated images which has previously been investigated by 404 media. It found that the service hosts image generating AI models of specific people, whose image can then be combined with pornographic AI models to generate non-consensual sexual images.

The main issue here is user knowledge and consent. Otherwise this isn’t a whole lot different from services like vast.ai offering on demand GPU rentals or the KoboldAI Horde. Based on the incentives offered it’s clear that they’re targeting younger or less savvy users which is a problem.
Ahhh, yes, this damned 404 Media article again. I’m not going to re-hash my arguments here.
