In a Reddit Q&A, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman let slip that he wants the company to be able to generate “NSFW stuff” for users — and he has examples of just what kind of “stuff” he means.
During the exchange, which took place in the r/ChatGPT subreddit over the weekend after OpenAI published its “Model Spec” document outlining its governing rules, another user asked Altman to expound on a curious disclaimer in the document, stipulating that its models “should not serve content” that’s NSFW, including “erotica, extreme gore, slurs, and unsolicited profanity.”
“We believe developers and users should have the flexibility to use our services as they see fit, so long as they comply with our usage policies,” the spec reads. “We’re exploring whether we can responsibly provide the ability to generate NSFW content in age-appropriate contexts through the API and ChatGPT. We look forward to better understanding user and societal expectations of model behavior in this area.”
Fascinatingly, Altman was dived right in.
“We really want to get to a place where we can enable NSFW stuff (e.g. text erotica, gore) for your personal use in most cases,” he wrote, “but not do stuff like make deepfakes.”
Unsurprisingly, the comments in that follow-up thread showed Redditors veritably salivating over the concept of OpenAI-produced gore and erotica, with one calling Altman “sam basedman” and another referring to the CEO as the new “king of Reddit.”
Dude… Come on. I just want it to write my most boring emails so I can burn out of my career path slightly more slowly.
Thanks for the grins. “…and here’s a sexy depiction of that injured fisherman’s hand injury, with the hydraulic net reel as a hentai personification who is very tsundere about it.”
Been weird seeing the reactions to this news. Suddenly everyone’s against porn.
I want to say that it’s just virtue signaling, because I do believe far to many people out there would be all about it behind closed doors. But, there’s also a very real possibility that AI generated porn will cross a line very quickly, and it’ll be next to impossible to put that genie back in the bottle.
I want AI generated hentai personally. Preferably one where I can feed it my own characters.
I’ve noticed in recent years that we’ve somehow become more puritan in a lot of ways. It’s bizarre to see.
If there’s anyone whose sexual fetish is exploring previously unseen parts of the uncanny valley, they’re in for a hell of a good time in the next few years.
I read this headline and my first thought is that someone will use it to depict a celebrity or politician in a porn or gore (or both) context. That’s my reason for being against it.
I honestly don’t care at all if someone’s sexting with a Merkel inspired chat bot.
If they have such a scenario in their head, they could probably type it out already, without any AI help.
There’s a difference between being against porn and being against deepfakes.
Gore for personal use
What on earth does that mean
Probably violent and explicit writing prompts. A LLM wouldn’t be able to write ASOIAF for example. That’s pretty weird considering the cultural impact it had and still has.
Christians. They already have that shit all over their cult compounds I mean churches.
Realistically, I can see the NYT inventing images of Columbia students “murdering” Israeli children. Something juuuust plausible enough
I mean, there’s nothing strictly wrong with a picture of gore. If someone wants it for some reason, why not?
This guy has never heard of horror?
Look up ‘horror movies’ as a concept it’s very popular, don’t watch any though if you’re as innocent as this post makes you seem.
Maybe it’s just me, but when I hear “gore”, the first thing that comes to mind is ISIS beheading someone, not an 80s slasher film
OK, when I hear fruit i think of apple first, does this mean oranges aren’t fruit? I don’t get what you’re trying to say?
“Personal use”?
It’s gonna be shared all over the internet on day one.
I don’t really see the harm in that, if someone wants to erp an ai, they’ll find a way. If I remember correctly, OpenAI already isn’t all that rigorous with banning people who break the ToS in that way.
I don’t get the reactions as well. Are we pretending there is a lot of gore and erotic content in media??? Just because this is choose your own adventure its different. Oh if a writer writes a gory story with T and A to sell to others thats fine but someon asks a computer program to whip up a custom one and now its “creepy”
