It / OpenAi are not "deciding what is good and bad for us", it is deciding what services they want to provide or not provide.

Your pontificating is doing more "deciding what is good and bad for us" (grousing about it's inability to identify the pornstar you're horny for today & dressing it up as some kind of moral high ground) than it is.

There are plenty of open source LLM and "AI" models or research to build your own. Go select one and train it on the large body of porn works out there on the internet and you'll likely make a fortune from this "missed opportunity" that OpenAi is leaving on the table.

It seems like you think you have a moral high ground. Being horny for pornstar isn’t inherently bad.

I didn't say it was bad (and yes, I was including an inference, not entirely unfounded).

What IS bad is that the commenter is acting as if (s)he has a somehow superior moral position when a product clearly not designed for the purpose (s)he wants is not actually fit for his/her purpose.

As if (s)he is the final arbiter of what other products should include as capabilities, never mind that these are capabilities that they not only do not advertise, but specifically provide notice that they do NOT do.

If OpenAi advertised these capabilities and it failed, I'd be 100% with him/her. But the situation is the opposite, and the moralistic complaint is annoying political noise.

It's not bad at all, really. But, it's a privately owned company that doesn't want to incorporate that material into their product. That is totally their right and doesn't have anything to do with them deciding what is right or wrong. I mean, ir be lying if I said I don't enjoy porn now and then. I did a LOT more when I was younger. But, I absolutely get why they don't want to bring that into their product.

Don't put words in the OPs mouth (that's not a euphemism), nowhere in the comment did they indicate their level of sexual arousal.
