ChatGPT's porn rollout raises concerns over safety and ethics

It seems like if ChatGPT had literally any other way to turn a profit, they would have done it before resorting to this. Kind of fees like this is their last ditch effort to show investors that they can somehow become profitable.

personally, I would prefer to miss out on ai-powered degeneracy, if the price is that ai companies will forever store all the stuff i generated, attached to my name

why do we insist on bringing the worst tech from sci-fi to reality? is our collective intelligence still not enough to thwart the social and market dynamics?

Sex is not like other subjects, it is peculiarly liable to harm, obsess, distract us. Sexual content is uniquely powerful in its ability to reduce human beings to objects for use, and having the ability to generate endless amounts of it completely privately is a very dangerous power to have. I worry about what it will do to us to have this technology, and I worry that OpenAI is treating this subject with too little concern.

Incorrect. The modern industrial revolution and most wartime militaries demonstrate far more ability to do this.

> and having the ability to generate endless amounts of it completely privately is a very dangerous power to have.

I mean, anyone can pick up some artistic skill and do this without a computer. Everyone really can have this "very dangerous power" if they want to. Your statement is only valid if sex or pictures/text of sex is intrinsically harmful, which is untrue.
