A new Washington's Lottery AI mobile site turned a user's photo
into softcore pornography, forcing them to take the website down “out of an abundance of caution.”
When Megan, a 50-year-old mother
based
in Tumwater, visited the new AI-powered mobile site from Washington's Lottery on March
30, she thought
she was in for some frivolous fun. Test Drive
A Win allows users to digitally throw
a dart at a dartboard featuring dream vacations you can pay for with the money
you win in the lottery. Depending on where
the dart lands, you can either upload a headshot or take one on your phone
to upload, and the AI superimposes your image
into the vacation
spot.
Megan landed on a “swim with the sharks” dream vacation
option. She was shocked
at one of the AI photos Washington's Lottery spit out. It was softcore porn.

The fact that there's even an official govt website trying to motivate people to goomble is kind of evil tbh. To me that's the weirdest part of the article; the state of WA allocated funds to create something that helps poor people dream about having a lot of money so that they blow what little they have on lottery tickets.
