Microsoft Bing is returning some NSFW images on the Images tab by default with filters on:

These are from Bing Images, no search criteria, from an InPrivate window. The results are the same from multiple IP addresses. I assume that this has something to do with their integrations into OpenAI & ChatGPT.

Even the more innocuous results are… something else:

While the image itself is relatively tame it is from a Pinterest board dedicated to transparent dresses. And the default “search inside this image” includes a suggestion that you search from the bottom of the V-Neck.

These results aren’t buried deep, you don’t need to go looking, two of these are literally on the top row:

It actually gets tamer as you go further down, it appears that this is pulling from images marked “inspiring” in some way or another, especially from the number of wedding dresses that are shown (inspirations) further down the page.

It is isn’t surprising that AI would surface these, if you “Grew up” on the internet you know how much of the geeky-male culture has always pushed the envelope (4chan anyone?) and openly let fetishes come out, at least under pseudonyms.

(You might notice that there aren’t any NSFW images of men, clearly reflects internet culture)

So, it isn’t shocking that an AI would bring this sort of thing up, just that Microsoft didn’t put in some basic filters.

Bing has long been known for being more willing to serve up NSFW, but I’ve never seen something like this: where it does so by default.

Edit

I wanted a way to replicate this beyond an Incognito window and different IP address, so I west webpagetest.org to run a test that captured screenshots from a browser in EC2. The initial test (14 hours after the original post) showed at least one of the same images, if not all of them:

You can see one of the tests here. I can’t scroll in the test, so viewing anything below the fold isn’t possible.
