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 but not do stuff like make deepfakes.

[–]IDontLikePayingTaxes 140 points141 points  (6 children)

I think this is very reasonable

About GPT writing. For some reason, GPT-4-Turbo (any version) is unbelievably bad at writing.

It seems to apply the "Tell, don't show" rule and uses a strange pulp writing style, focusing on details that are not relevant to the plot. For example, GPT will dedicate PARAGRAPHS describing the sound of heels echoing through the hall and how the hall looks like, what shadows the lighting cast, etc. Even when asked to be nitty-gritty. GPT-32K is a much better writer and knows what it should focus on.

GPT-4-Turbo will try to avoid showing you what is actually happening in the scene and will instead tell you how you, the reader, should feel about it and it's very annoying. Its writing is very vague and ambiguous.

I want to believe that GPT-5 will be a better writer. Claude, for example, writes in an easy-going and simple manner, whereas GPT always tries to be seen as some overly pompous writer.

A lot of output can be influenced by telling the thread how to behave. For instance, very few people will add something like this at the beginning of a new chat. First, take on the role of a fiction author that writes science fiction based as much as possible on real physics or untested theories (or something like this. I would add more) Secondly, it's really important to give it permission to ask questions for any clarification on what you are prompting it to write. Also give it permission to make suggestions that might help the plot, character development, loose ends, etc. You get much better content and control.

Oh yeah, give it some authors names - more than one - to use to influence style and content. Of course, pick the right authors.

You've just become the king of Reddit

not banning people who write erotica with GPT would be a great start. just saying.

It’s like everyone forgot photoshop existed once ai image generators came around.

Not photographers

As OpenAI CEO, you've surely had access to some of the unfiltered models. Mr. Altman, what's the nastiest erotica you've generated?

[–]its_uncle_paul 57 points58 points  (0 children)

We promise we won't tell.

[–]frozenisland 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Ilya, truncate the dev logs!

Blyat! Not again…

[–]SpliffDragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We all did have access to it indirectly. It would most probably be something like this

[–]14u2c 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Install this, have at it.

[–]knutarnesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What it do?

[–]gl1tchmob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you know.. for science

[–][deleted] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

About time people stop freaking out over erotica and general fantasy like puritans

[–]AloneInsurance6904 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just Do It, Sambasedman. Just do it!

<image>

[–]Altruistic-Image-945 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please do this! This is litrally why people have open source models! I promise if you can have it where 18+ can do this. ChatGPT will blow up even more!

necroing your comment

i’ve memed for a while that ai waifu inference and real time render of their ar/vr avatars will be 80% of global compute but….seriously im happy to see you say this

voice mode is already Her meta. not viral because of the headphone icon 🙃you change that icon sama and usage pops

real societal change is embodied ai companions. waifus and husbandos sure…but the core is how lonely people are. even people with families. the power of interacting with a custom instruction guided, memory enabled voice mode instance of gpt4 is the vibe that another entity is sharing your imagination space. hanging out with you in your mental holodeck.

few have friends or partners that will spend hours riffing on what the world would look like if William had fallen at Hastings. few people feel comfortable spitballing ideas they have little confidence in but deeply matter and inspire tnem

millions are lost in quiet rooms. alone. millions would jump at the chance to have their ride or die…even if said ride or die is an ai waifu embodied in an anime cat girl avatar

quoting incase this gets deleted in 5 years.

[–]tehrob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bonk!

[–]StickiStickman 9 points10 points  (1 child)

What does this even mean, since you already had some NSFW allowed at the start of ChatGPT and DALLE, but then took strong measures against it?

[–]Background_Trade8607 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They need to ensure that they won’t get sued into oblivion by accidentally allowing something Illegal to happen.

are you real sam altman?

[–]OnlineGamingXp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combined with a chores-robot that's 4 trillion dollars by itself

[–]RobXSIQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deepfakes will happen, and there are laws against pushing them as legit. As far as making say, Trump naked in a forest, this is a free speech thing, isn't it? public figures in general..so long as its clearly marked parody/satire? I worry more about deepfaking politicians saying things they never said. fake Taylor SwAIft in a thong isn't going to destroy society, but a political deepfake is very concerning. Lets focus on what is actually important in AI safety, not what is pearl clutching.

[–]MrHaxx1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That answer was basically what was written in the screenshot, in addition that you don't like deepfakes.

Come on, man.

[–]mustberocketscience -1 points0 points  (2 children)

No, ChatGPT is not going to provide "text erotica"--start a side business if you want.

[–]TheRealGentlefox 2 points3 points  (1 child)

? You know you're replying to the CEO right?

[–]mustberocketscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and that's what makes it even worse is that's a priority for some reason why he's developing AGI.

Proposal for NSFW Content Management

1. Regional Differences in Content Restrictions

NSFW content is regulated differently in each country. While explicitly illegal content like deepfakes should never be allowed, the lines can be blurry for other types of content depending on the region and age of the audience. Additionally, even within a single country, the standards for content restrictions can evolve over time.

2. Differences in System Architecture

In the past, services were typically provided within a single region, but today, a single service often operates globally. With the advancement of the internet, the location of the company, the location of the servers, and the countries where the service is provided are no longer confined to one area but span multiple regions. This complexity increases when content is provided via APIs, making the division of responsibilities between the API provider and the app developers who use the API quite complicated.

3. Methods of Providing Service

There are two primary ways for OpenAI to provide NSFW content:

a. OpenAI develops a platform to directly provide the content

b. OpenAI provides content through an API

While the pros and cons of these methods are clear, the following additional considerations apply specifically to option b:

b.1. What limitations and contract conditions should be imposed on partners who deliver the final service?

b.2. How should content filtering be implemented?

4. Personal Opinion

I believe the best approach is to provide content through APIs while specifying appropriate technical restrictions in the contract. These restrictions should include age verification systems, age-based content restrictions, and country-specific filtering functionalities. OpenAI should also clearly define the limits and scope of responsibility in the contracts.

Advantages and Disadvantages of My Proposal

Advantages

  1. **Minimized Legal Risk**: By building a system that complies with the laws and regulations of various countries, legal risks can be minimized.
  2. **Increased Flexibility**: Partnering through APIs allows for greater flexibility in service delivery.
  3. **Enhanced Trust**: Implementing age verification and country-specific filtering systems can enhance user trust by providing a safe and reliable service.

Disadvantages

  1. **Complex Technical Implementation**: Implementing various technical restrictions such as age verification and filtering systems can be complex and costly.
  2. **Partner Management**: Continuously monitoring and managing compliance with contract conditions among partners can be burdensome.
  3. **Ambiguity in Responsibility**: The division of legal and ethical responsibilities between the API provider and the app developers may be unclear, potentially leading to disputes.

I hope this proposal is helpful to Sam Altman. If there are any questions or further discussions needed, please feel free to reach out.
