This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
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.
I'd be happy to use their art without their permission. They dont get to decide what is trained with their art.
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.
We now have AI seducing humans. We also have remote control adult toys. Put those toys in a sex doll, add a rechargeable pack in the sex doll with connected wifi. You now have an AI connected sex partner who controls the "toys" inside them. Once actual robotics get cheap, the doll moves on it's own. Many people will pay a ton to have this because they want control over the "person" (doll). Build it and they will cum.
I want my Lucy Liu Bot as much as the next guy, but I don't see why you feel this challenges the ability of technology to "take over" sex and relationships.
I don't disagree that there will come a day that that will happen, but I think that it may be further away than you might think, if we're talking something that can move around like a human, with human strength.
As far as I'm aware, existing sex dolls, even ones with mechanical components, are akin to industrial robots on car assembly lines. Any significant force they can exert is very mechanically constrained. A sex doll with some embedded offset-cam vibration motors cannot jam those motors into a user's eye socket and turn them on, and a car assembly robot works in a limited space bounded by safety lines on the floor.
Robots that can mechanically physically harm humans -- especially when harder-to-predict machine learning software is driving their actions -- tend to have restrictions on how close humans can get to them. If you look at the Boston Robotics videos, which do have robots doing all sorts of neat cutting-edge stuff, the humans are rarely in close proximity to the robots. They'll have someone else with a remote E-stop killswitch if things look like they're going wrong. In their labs, they have observation areas behind Plexiglass. Even in the cases where they intentionally interact with the robot physically, they're using a hockey stick to create distance. That's a lot of safety safeguards put into the picture.
The problem is that a sex doll capable of moving and acting as a human does, with human-level strength, is also going to be quite able to kill a human. A sex doll is -- well, for most applications -- going to have to be interacted with physically, so Plexiglass or a hockey stick isn't gonna work. And I think that few people are going to want to have someone observing their session with a hand on an E-stop button.
Cars deal with a fairly restricted problem space and are mechanically very limited and doing safe self-driving cars is pretty hard.
Sex chatbots don't have the robotic safety issues. They aren't robotic. But AI-driven sex dolls, at least ones that can physically move like a human...those are another story. My guess is that the robotic safety issues are going to be a significant barrier to human-like sex dolls -- and not just sex dolls, but large, powerful robots in general that interact in close proximity to humans and don't have mechanical restrictions on how they move.
I think we're still a very long way away from the point where the hardware for a life-size realistic sex robot is cheap enough for anyone other than a few rich dudes to afford, let alone one which can offer a better experience than a prostitute
that would be awsome
main problem is it should not use any examples of actual stuff. it should all be trained on licenesed anime.
As a certified weeb I agree
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?
Me. The italics are just indicating that it's narration, not that it's a quote from the article. OpenAI definitely doesn't have anything like a self-aware AI going on in 2024.
Not for nothing 95% of internet it's porn, it is a big business..
