The worst places on the internet are getting into the AI game. As artificial intelligence technology becomes more and more mainstream, its influence is now reaching all corners of the internet, and in the last month, two of the darkest corners have announced their plans to unleash their very own AI engines on the world. Gab, a white supremacist forum that’s a favorite of mass shooters and organizers of the Capitol riot, and 8kun, the home of QAnon, have announced they’re launching AI engines— and they’re training them on the same content that has in the past led multiple internet companies to cut ties and take the platforms offline. Artificial intelligence is everywhere right now, and many are questioning the safety and morality of the AI systems released by some of the world’s biggest companies, including Open AI’s ChatGPT, Bing’s Sydney, and Google’s Bard. It was only a matter of time until the online spaces where extremists gather became interested in the technology. Gab is a social network filled with homophobic, christian nationalist and white supremacist content. On Tuesday its CEO Andrew Torba announced the launch of its AI image generator, Gabby. “At Gab, we have been experimenting with different AI systems that have popped up over the past year,” Torba wrote in a statement. “Every single one is skewed with a liberal/globalist/talmudic/satanic worldview. What if Gab AI Inc builds a Gab .ai (see what I did there?) that is based, has no ‘hate speech” filters and doesn’t obfuscate and distort historical and Biblical Truth?” Gabby is currently live on Gab’s site and available to all members. Like Midjourney and DALL-E, it is an image generator that users interact with by sending it a prompt, and within seconds it will generate entirely new images based on that prompt.

In a blog post late last month, Gab CEO Andrew Torba called for his fellow Christians to enter the “AI arms race” in order to combat prominent AI tools such as ChatGPT. “At Gab, we have been experimenting with different AI systems that have popped up over the past year. Every single one is skewed with a liberal/globalist/talmudic/satanic worldview,” Torba wrote. “What if Gab AI Inc builds a Gab .ai (see what I did there?) that is based, has no ‘hate speech’ filters and doesn’t obfuscate and distort historical and Biblical Truth?” Now, Gab has announced the release of its first such tool, an image-generating AI known as Gabby. Similar to OpenAI’s DALL-E 2, the tool, officially launched on Monday, allows users to send prompts over direct message to Gabby’s Gab profile in order to create an image. “We believe that AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we work, create, and interact with the world around us,” a blog post on the launch says. “We envision a world where humans work together with these new tools to build, create, and learn for the glory of God.” Gab has since flooded its Twitter profile with images generated by Gabby. The account has also retweeted imagery generated by its users, including one individual who showcased a “Military Dictator of South Carolina.”
