In a Reddit Q&A, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman let slip that he wants the company to be able to generate “NSFW stuff” for users — and he has examples of just what kind of “stuff” he means.
During the exchange, which took place in the r/ChatGPT subreddit over the weekend after OpenAI published its “Model Spec” document outlining its governing rules, another user asked Altman to expound on a curious disclaimer in the document, stipulating that its models “should not serve content” that’s NSFW, including “erotica, extreme gore, slurs, and unsolicited profanity.”
“We believe developers and users should have the flexibility to use our services as they see fit, so long as they comply with our usage policies,” the spec reads. “We’re exploring whether we can responsibly provide the ability to generate NSFW content in age-appropriate contexts through the API and ChatGPT. We look forward to better understanding user and societal expectations of model behavior in this area.”
Fascinatingly, Altman was dived right in.
“We really want to get to a place where we can enable NSFW stuff (e.g. text erotica, gore) for your personal use in most cases,” he wrote, “but not do stuff like make deepfakes.”
Unsurprisingly, the comments in that follow-up thread showed Redditors veritably salivating over the concept of OpenAI-produced gore and erotica, with one calling Altman “sam basedman” and another referring to the CEO as the new “king of Reddit.”
Gore for personal use
What on earth does that mean
Probably violent and explicit writing prompts. A LLM wouldn’t be able to write ASOIAF for example. That’s pretty weird considering the cultural impact it had and still has.

Christians. They already have that shit all over their cult compounds I mean churches.
Realistically, I can see the NYT inventing images of Columbia students “murdering” Israeli children. Something juuuust plausible enough
Oh wow dude, grass, you, touchy touchy.
Two things can be true! Everyone always needs to bathe in some cleansing nature, and also I’m not super wrong on my comment there sooo thanks for the free therapy 😜😘
Ouch, I cut my finger
You cry about cutting your finger? Lord Jezus cut his whole hand on that torture device they stare at all day 🤪🙄
I mean, there’s nothing strictly wrong with a picture of gore. If someone wants it for some reason, why not?
I don’t know of a scenario where desiring to look at gore is healthy.
Horror related stuff can be gory
Anatomy class? Maybe…
Really? Not a single one? Did you even try?
This guy has never heard of horror?
Look up ‘horror movies’ as a concept it’s very popular, don’t watch any though if you’re as innocent as this post makes you seem.
Maybe it’s just me, but when I hear “gore”, the first thing that comes to mind is ISIS beheading someone, not an 80s slasher film
OK, when I hear fruit i think of apple first, does this mean oranges aren’t fruit? I don’t get what you’re trying to say?
Take a breath, brother. Life’s short. Let your loved ones know you love them while they’re still around.
My family know I love them, why don’t you stay hydrated and take regular breaks from the screen!
Might help you not take things so personally
