The report also highlights the inherent biases in AI algorithms, which can be exploited to generate offensive content. While AI companies have pledged to eliminate these biases, the report suggests that racists are able to manipulate these algorithms to quickly generate and spread offensive content. The response from AI leaders like Microsoft and OpenAI to this issue remains unclear.

- Users are instructed to add provocative captions to the images and share them on social media platforms, including Telegram, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram.
- AI image generators have been criticized for their inherent racist and sexist biases, with companies like OpenAI implementing safeguards to detect and eliminate these biases.
- 404 Media's report highlights the potential dangers of racists exploiting these biased algorithms, leading to a rapid spread of offensive content online.
