CSAM allegations land AI image platform CIVITAI in hot water

In November, 404Media also found out that CIVITAI was running a bounties program, where it was rewarding users for creating convincing AI images of celebrities. Initially, these images were harmless, but soon enough, there was a trove of NSFW images of celebrities, which raised a huge red flag. In response, CIVITAI released a filter that prevented users from creating images of “certain celebrities”, but that was not really a full time solution.
