Does 'the Christian worldview' invalidate any conclusions the authors may present?

Besides, people are using LLMs for exactly that for ages (including Claude and ChatGPT), so the only difference is that the non-NSFW behaviour will be better (less crippled).
Win/win. No? Why?
Hey! How old are you!?
That's the idea. For too long people have been able to free-associate and share truth online. Now they finally have a reason to end anonymity online. Due to the raw power of AI there is a very real threat these new tools provide to bad actors in the generation of misinformation and disinformation and now we need to ascertain the providence of all content created online. With "AI" being injected into every site, app, and OS we will be forced to associate real world ID's to any and all actions int he digital realm in order to "protect" the public from the wave of fabricated reality they will create.
Of course these tools will be used by those that control the moderation systems to craft and shape global negative on a scale we have never seen before. A new kind of Dark ages are here. Not one where dusty tomes are changed to the monastery walls, no, our books write and rewrite themselves in real time as needed until every thought is controlled by the over-mind.
Happy Prompting.-----TINFOIL HAT BLOCK END-----
Why presume that? "Are you over 18?" is the age verification method used by 99% of the web.
OAI ultimately still makes a ton of money, and gets to wash their hands of much of the liability. It's a win-win.
In this particular case though I can't imagine it's a good idea to hand Sam Altman and his company chat logs of your explicit fantasies tied to your real identity.
Google will happily return NSFW results, without age verification.
Google will approve ad campaigns for adult websites.
Amazon will happily sell you NSFW books and tools. etc.
But OpenAI should reject prompts that result in adult content?
Then they show us what they have been working on and it is…
Robot sex chats.
They’d like another 400 billion please. They’re doing the Lord’s work here. They need to burn the planet; the competition would do it if they didn’t! This thing could turn into the antichrist any day now.
First, mental health issues surrounding this are far from being solved. Having a sycophantic robot faking intimacy looks manipulative, ripe for exploitation, and damaging to long term psychological well-being.
Second, this is a service that manufactures compromising chat logs and stores them for profit. Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
Various forms of online hygiene, from ad blocking to VPNs, to anonymous email accounts are likely utilised by the hacker news audience. Because we're all well aware of the value of our privacy, the value of our personal data, and the aggressive and often illegal efforts by major tech firms and data brokers to acquire both.
It's incredibly important to continue progress in the area, both in terms of informing the public (and politicians) of how our behaviour is observed and shaped by social networks and big tech: and by taking all obvious and easily available measures to reduce and remove the information they have and continue to gather.
One obvious way is by not sharing private sexual data with a major corporation, where not absolutely necessary.
Edit: Oh, and since a reference to the Luddites is a regular thought terminating cliche on HN - https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2021/06/the-luddites-wer...
Quite the contrary. My attitude encourages one to actually solve problems that we are encountering today, and not to fight battles that were lost two decades ago, which was the main thrust of my argument.
Also, as someone born in the Eastern Bloc, please allow me to throw up in my mouth at a publication that unironically cites the Communist Manifesto.
Huh? Quite the statement when there are still people out there having parasocial relationships with chatbots. This problem is going to get exponentially worse when the chatbots can start to get sexual.
>> "ChatGPT is trained to direct people to seek professional help," such as the 988 suicide and crisis hotline in the US or the Samaritans in the UK.
>> The company acknowledged, however, that "there have been moments where our systems did not behave as intended in sensitive situations".

The folks there will provide a detailed explanation about 4o and 5 differences.
Maybe he just looked at their analytics and saw that everyone is trying to have virtual sex with it?
Didn't work well for Tumblr, not working well for Twitter, maybe AI is different.
There's probably a lot stopping them considering there's about 3 companies making models that aren't shit.
Indeed; Facebook didn't bother with the verified adults bit: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/aug/15/meta-ai-c...
Presumably this will just be part of that offering.
OpenAI: We are... doing something else...
Well, here we go.
I dread to think where society is going to be in 10-15 years. We've had a generation or two raised thinking porn == sex and the next generation will all be in romantic relationships with ChatGPT. Businesses have just given up on having any social responsibility whatsoever.
