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.”
Imagine one man having the power to decide such things for all of society. He sure likes to.
Sorry - what?
Altman and OpenAI greatly overestimate their ability to control what is done with this technology. The more they tighten their grip, the more open-weights sexbots will slip through their fingers.
But they’re talking about being less restrictive, likely because they obviously lose people to those alternatives that do not have those restrictions.
He’s only trying to decide it for their stuff.
Chat-fbi will fill in this gap
Or shpuld just pretend that this won’t just turn right lolicon stuff
Gore for personal use
What on earth does that mean
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?
Take a breath, brother. Life’s short. Let your loved ones know you love them while they’re still around.
My family know I love them, why don’t you stay hydrated and take regular breaks from the screen!
Might help you not take things so personally
Been weird seeing the reactions to this news. Suddenly everyone’s against porn.
I’ve noticed in recent years that we’ve somehow become more puritan in a lot of ways. It’s bizarre to see.
I’m not against porn. But its a bad idea to give people this magic wand. In mere days people will be selling AI generated CSAM of any child, along with photos of them dismembered.
Best start believin’ in cyberpunk dystopias. You’re in one.
People already have the magic wand and that’s not happening.
Yeah ‘in mear days…’ if people had access to technology they’ve had access to for over a year now. Doomers don’t even pretend to live in reality anymore.
