Kremlin Furious! Russian AI Generates Images of Putin in His Birthday Suit
AI developers summoned to the Russian prosecutor’s office
AI developers in Russia are in hot water after their software developed images of the Russian leader without any clothes on.
The guilty chatbot, called ‘Kandisnsky’, has been charged with generating embarrassing images of the President and making a mockery of Russia.
Two images which made it onto public view were one cartoonised image of Putin in the nuddy carrying a stick, and another of him looking very worried in a prison cell.
It’s not clear how the images became public, but the naughty chatbot is being reined in by its developers, who themselves would probably like to make it to 2024 in one piece.
The chatbot also seems to be confused about the Russian flag. It creates an image in the wrong colours when asked to draw the Russian flag. However, it has mastered the art of creating the Ukrainian flag without any difficulty. This is not going well for the people who developed it.
The software was developed as a joint venture between Sberbank (a bank) and Yandex (a search engine). The developers were summoned to the Russian prosecutor’s office and disciplined for creating a ‘negative image of Russia’.
According to ShowBiz Bang, the Sherbank boss told the US Sun Newspaper: “We have a model for generating the Russian flag — well, it’s generative. It’s trying to improve it. It also drew domes from St Basil’s Cathedral on the flag. The deputies considered this to be a mockery of our national flag.
“We immediately stopped certain things — it no longer generates state symbols, it generates a predetermined picture.”
