Apple teamed up with the University of California to release the open-source artificial intelligence model MGIE.
Its peculiarity is that it edits photos using text commands. MGIE uses multimodal large language models (MLLM) to understand user commands and simultaneously recognize objects in images at the pixel level.
Artificial intelligence can change contrast, exposure, sharpness, color balance, crop and rotate photos. It can also do complex things, such as editing only certain areas in a photo.
For example, you can say “remove the woman from the background” and MGIE will carefully cut out the person and replace him with a different background.
MGIE can add objects. If you say “make it healthier,” MGIE will add tomatoes and herbs to the pizza photo.
Another example: if you write the command “make the sky bluer”, the AI will increase the saturation of the sky by 20%.
MGIE is available on GitHub, where anyone can find the code and pre-trained models.
You can also test the AI on the Hugging Face Spaces website. MGIE only supports English, and commands currently take several minutes to complete due to the large influx of users on the platform. (VentureBeat)
Let’s explain to you how to use Google Bard on Telegram in the simplest way possible, interacting with Google’s AI as if it were just another contact in the messaging app. Google Bard is the search engine company’s answer to ChatGPT and Bing Chat, and it has arrived on Telegram in the form of a bot.
What we are going to tell you are the steps you have to take to use this Telegram bot in which you are allowed to use Bard. You will see that the procedure is simple, and then you will be able to take advantage of all the functions of Bard on any device without needing to use a Google account.
Use Google Bard on Telegram
The first thing you have to do is enter the Telegram chats section, and click on the write a new message button. Here, On the contacts screen use the search engine and search , which is the name of the Telegram bot. Click on it to start a conversation. You can also open it directly with the link t.me/bard_kpbot.
This will take you to the Google Bard bot. In it, you have to click on the button to activate it and start talking to him.
When you start using Bard, you will see that it gives you an error. This is because To start using it you must join the development channel where news is reported. To go to it, click on the links in the error messages and join. Then she goes back to the chat with Bard and starts talking to him. You may have to start it again.
Now, you can start using Google Bard. You will be able to ask any question, and even those that are related to information in real time, because Bard is capable of searching the result on the Internet. You can write to him in Spanishand Bard will respond in the same language.
Although artificial intelligence has many advantages for our daily lives, it also comes to have uses that can scare us. We have the clearest example very recently in a town in Extremadura where minors between 12 and 14 years old have taken photographs of girls from their town and have undressed them with an AI to spread them among themselves.
This is a serious problem, and we have been able to test artificial intelligence that allows us to do exactly this. AND The reality is that the result has left us stunned, because unlike others like DeepNude, there is no message that states that we are facing a fake nude. Simply, It is generated from the photograph that is uploaded and it will be possible to download without problem to start sharing.
AIs to undress people are a real business
As we say, we have been able to test one of the most famous artificial intelligence to undress people. And the result is quite good, maintaining skin tones and appearing a girl completely without clothes (because yes, these services are almost always advertised as AI that will only undress women). And we are only talking about girls because this AI does not undress men (as happens with others), obtaining in this case a very bad result and not at all realistic.
Image created with Stable Diffusion AI to perform the demo nude.
The result is therefore quite realistic, and one can think that the girl was indeed posing without any type of clothing. The only notice that appears and indicates that it is a is presented at the bottom of watermark mode where the URL of the website used appears to create these montages. But obviously it is something that can be cut very easily.
The requirements that a photograph must meet in order to be completely stripped are really easy to meet. The most important thing of all is that you should not wear a big coat, but rather Clothing should be more or less light. Furthermore, only one girl will be able to appear in the photograph, since if there are several it will not work correctly. And finally, the quality of the light and good focus will be essential so that the AI can detect the model and undress her.
But obviously this AI is not open to everyone, and such a claim to undress anyone is big business for its developers. This means that to use this AI you have to be buying different virtual currencies that are exchanged for each nude. Although the first of them is free so you can learn how the tool works and its power.
For example, having four attempts to obtain an image of a full nude is going to cost two dollars, existing different offers to get more and more coins at a lower price. And this is logically a big business for developers. But they can also be obtained for free by sharing the tool with different friends. Although what is truly clear is that good regulation is required to avoid these types of events that in the end are criminal.
ClothOff ‘washes its hands’ with the use of these images
If we look at the terms and conditions of this artificial intelligence tool, it stands out above all that ‘they wash their hands’. This means that they are not responsible for the use that will be given to the images that are generated (such as extorting someone). The Internet user “is responsible for not using the application for illegal or unauthorized purposes,” the website specifically says that it does not want judicial responsibilities for what can be done with its technology.
Although another important point may be the data processing that is carried out with all the images that are uploaded or generated. And it is that in many parts of the page before generating the content There are messages reminding them that they do not store any type of data. This implies that once the input image has been used in the AI, it is deleted from its database.
But as we always say: it is better to always distrust everything. This means that we do not recommend uploading personal or real images, since you can never know the real treatment behind them.
Using these media can be very expensive… if they are shared
As we have mentioned previously, these tools can be used precisely to extort money from a person by creating a fake nude (which can look very real). We have the example with the minors of a town in Extremadura who will have used similar tools to achieve this goal. And this is something that constitutes a crime.
Specifically, our legislation includes up to two years in prison for these types of acts. The professor and lawyer specializing in Digital Law explains that. This means that what is truly important in the eyes of a judge is what is done with those photographs, not how they are done.
Although, as is the case in Spain, prison sentences that can reach nine years in the case of child ___ography can not imply this prison sentence. It all depends on the age of those who commit the offense, and in the case of minors the penalty imposed is much milder.
