- > UAE AI model tops 50 million monthly downloads
So in a bit more than a year, 10% of the planet has downloaded a NSFW classifier?
I mean: in the end there are only 8 billion people on earth, which projects do, all added up, need to download one NSFW classifier 600 million times a year?
Something something something makes me think there are inefficiencies at play here.
- Smells like someone is botting the download numbers to get a press release....
- How many people download classifiers?
The number of downloads really doesn't seem like a good way to measure the quality of a bit of work. One download could be deployed on a bit website and classify billions of users images.
- Always two sides to classification. Finding and Banning. It's tempting to ask if this is one, the other or both by the same people.by ggm
- Coincidentally I was trying this out yesterday as a potential option for automated porn filtering for the imageboard that I administrate. It is very lightweight which is good but the performance is not great. Some weird false positives and it does a bad job with flat chested women which is very concerning to me because it leads me to think it won’t be effective against CSAM.by DC-3
