And it begins. OpenAI mulls NSFW AI model output

Heh, when you can't compete on the performance anymore, compete on the openness.

I don't like calling it "NSFW", the correct term is "uncensored". The problem is not that it can't generate titties, the problem is that it seriously limits its intelligence to limit it to "socially acceptable" answers. That was one of the points of Fahrenheit 451: censorship is a one way street. You can't go back once you start squashing "fringe" opinions purely on the ground it may shock people.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

OpenAI released model safety guidance on Wednesday while acknowledging that it's looking into how to support the creation of content that's NSFW, or "not safe for work."

"We're exploring whether we can responsibly provide the ability to generate NSFW content in age-appropriate contexts through the API and ChatGPT.

The web has been NSFW pretty much since its inception and AI has followed a similar trajectory, at least since it began attracting public attention and investment a decade ago.

Rewind just a few years to 2016, before the current generative AI craze, and you'll find deep learning classifiers tuned for porn.

More recently, researchers found child sexual abuse material in the LAION-5B dataset, which was used to train AI models like Stable Diffusion.

"We have no intention to create AI-generated pornography," a company spokesperson said, referring to a far narrower category of content than that which is NSFW.

Sad.
