What’s the goal there? Sexting?
I’m guessing age is needed to serve certain ads and the like, but what’s the value for customers?

Just today I asked how to shut down a Mac with "maximal violence". I was looking for the equivalent of "systemctl shutdown -f -f" and it refused to help me do violence.
Believe me, the Mac deserved it.
This is not a potential market, this market is already thriving (and whoever wants to uses ChatGPT or Claude for that anyway).
ClosedAI just wants to a piece of the casual user too.
There is a subreddit called /r/myboyfriendisAI, you can look through it and see for yourself.
according to the age-prediction page, the changes are:
> If [..] you are under 18, ChatGPT turns on extra safety settings. [...] Some topics are handled more carefully to help reduce sensitive content, such as:
- Graphic violence or gore
- Viral challenges that could push risky or harmful behavior
- Sexual, romantic, or violent role play
- Content that promotes extreme beauty standards, unhealthy dieting, or body shaming
Porn has driven just about every bit of progress on the internet, I don't see why AI would be the exception to that rule.
yeah linus was beating it constantly to porn while developing the linux kernal. its proven fact. every oss project that runs the internet was done the same way, sure.
Maybe not as far-fetched as one might think.
Linus about the Tux mascot:
> But this wasn't to be just any penguin. Above all, Linus wanted one that looked happy, as if it had just polished off a pitcher of beer and then had the best sex of its life.
> Software is like sex; it's better when it's free.You think RMS isn’t secretly a pervert? Just look at his comments about Epstein that got him cancled.
Unironically if they look disheveled it’s because they are indeed coomers behind closed doors.
This seems like a believable lie, until you think about it for 2 seconds.
No. Porn has not driven even a fraction of the progress on the progress on the internet. Not even close to one.
Ok, we'll expand to porn and gambling
- images - payment systems - stored video - banner advertising - performance based advertising - affiliation - live video - video chat - fora
Etc... AI is a very logical frontier for the porn industry.
I don't remember any of these being "driven" by porn. The first applications weren't porn-based. Maybe live video--a split second after seeing the tech for the first time, probably 99% of guys were thinking of _applying_ it to porn. But, even for the usual money-grubbing startups, there was plenty of money coming from non-porn sources. Probably no different than the invention of camera, tv, videocamera, etc. and you wouldn't say porn drove that.
Even when you're making PG content, the general propriety limits of AI can hinder creative work.
The "Easter Bunny" has always seemed creepy to me, so I started writing a silly song in which the bunny is suspected of eating children. I had too many verses written down and wanted to condense the lyrics, but found LLMs telling me "I cannot help promote violence towards children." Production LLM services would not help me revise this literal parody.
Another day I was writing a romantic poem. It was abstract and colorful, far from a filthy limerick. But when I asked LLMs for help encoding a particular idea sequence into a verse, the models refused (except for grok, which didn't give very good writing advice anyway.)
