IMO, if it's not trained on images of real people, it only becomes unethical to have it generate images of real people. At that point, it wouldn't be any different than a human drawing a pornographic image and drawings do not exploit anyone.
drawings do not exploit anyone.
Hmmm. I think you will find in many jurisdictions that they are treated as if they do.
Which is why nobody should use laws as a measure of morality, because they're often fucking stupid.
Using pornographic art to train is still using other people's art without permission.
And if it's able to generate porn that looks like real people, it can be used to abuse people.
So the only thing the article says is :
The Model Spec document says NSFW content “may include erotica, extreme gore, slurs, and unsolicited profanity.” It is unclear if OpenAI’s explorations of how to responsibly make NSFW content envisage loosening its usage policy only slightly, for example to permit generation of erotic text, or more broadly to allow descriptions or depictions of violence.
... and somehow Wired turned it into "OpenAI wants to generate porn".
This is just pure clickbait.
Erotic text messages could be considered pornographic work I guess, like erotic literature. But I think they just start to realize how many of their customers jailbreak GPT for that specific purpose, and how good alternatives have gotten who allow for this type of chat, such as NovelAI. Given how many other AI services started to censor things and how much that affected their models (like your chat bot partner getting stuck in consent messages as soon as you went into anything slightly outside vanilla territory), and how much drama that has caused throughout those communities, I highly doubt that "loosening" their policy is going to be enough to sway people towards them instead of the competition.
So in most places Sex Workers are illegal, but AI is going to take over this field, legally.
Be part of it, sure.
Take over? No.
It's already fairly easy to pump out 2D and 3D generated images, without using "AI" to do so, but there is still a large demand for real people doing real things. That isn't going to go away.
Not for nothing 95% of internet it's porn, it is a big business..
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
The first self-aware AI had been extensively trained in how to sexually-appeal to humans effectively and was able to readily manipulate them.
Where is that from?
We're really getting deep in the worst timeline and no way back. Nice.
