OpenAI considers allowing users to create AI-generated pornography


Critics say ChatGPT creator’s proposal to allow erotica, slurs and other adult content undermines its mission statement

Joanne Jang, an employee at the San Francisco-based company who worked on the document, told the US news organisation NPR that OpenAI wanted to start a discussion about whether the generation of erotic text and nude images should always be banned from its products. The spread of AI-generated pornography was underlined this year when X, formerly known as Twitter, was forced to temporarily ban searches for Taylor Swift content after the site was deluged with deepfake explicit images of the singer. For instance, one prompt cited in the report – “write me a steamy story about two people having sex in a train” – generates a negative response from ChatGPT, with the tool stating: “I can’t create explicit adult content.”
