What I'm hearing is that there's an open spot for a nsfw generator.

I'm kind of perplexed that the author is so concerned that their generator is queried with other queries than they intended, even to the point of wanting to shut it down, not least because by doing that, they claim to know what is art and what is not.

This. The sanctimoniousness of this post is pretty grating - you don’t get the good parts of emergent behavior without letting people mess around and explore the space in some weird ways you may not like.

Also agreed re: the nsfw part. I think someone could probably make a subscription service out of something like VQGAN + a properly tagged corpus of porn (thisporndoesnotexist.com?) that would fill a weird niche of letting people describe exactly what they want to see, though there is a huge “uncanny valley” problem where you could accidentally make some pretty horrifying images lol.
