chatgpt maker OpenAI, in a more foreboding statement than its tone suggests, is considering allowing users to "generate NSFW content in age-appropriate contexts through the API and ChatGPT.""Creating AI-generated porn, in other words, could open a can of giant worms for the very popular AI.This has already been the subject of all sorts of scrutiny, criticism and litigation.

The announcement that OpenAI was "exploring" the possibility of opening the tool to explicit content came in a form that was briefly set aside in a lengthy document on the development of AI models. 

Currently, OpenAI tools like Chatgpt are subject to content filters that should stop spitting smut on unsuspecting users, and there are no solid plans to make it weird yet. Nevertheless, these filters may soften in the near future, allowing customers to produce almost all the filth they want.

Most, but not all. In comments to Npr, Joanne Jang, model leader at OpenAI, revealed that while the company may one day allow anything that falls under "your definition of porn," anything that violates the law or other people's rights is a no-no. It is out of the question to enable "deep fake, period.""Deep fake refers to porn generated by the AI of real people in case you're not used to it.

Banning deep fakes is definitely the best thing, but fictitious content filters built to prevent them are kept fast or people have already discovered how to get around ChatGPT's current filters and get it to produce NSFW content— and OpenAI has updated its model. Then, the new

will these filters prevent deepfaked flooding after being weakened to allow explicit content other than deepfaked? Or do I need to tell ChatGPT to role-play my dying grandfather because he bequeathed me a deepfake porn factory when Microsoft itself had to close a loophole that allowed users to create Taylor Swift's fake porn?It's hard to be sure.

Onlookers urge caution. In comments to Npr, law professor Tiffany Li said, "Exploring this for educational and artistic uses is a commendable goal, but they need to be very careful with this."Speaking to The Guardian, Professor Clare McGlynn said she is deeply skeptical about how to try to limit this to legal material produced on an agreed basis.

Still, OpenAI thinks about it. "There are creative cases where content including sexuality and nudity is important to users," says Jang. "We are exploring this in a way that provides this in an age-appropriate context."
