To quote a post seen on SFBA mastodon:

//If I genuinely believed I was 18 months away from superintelligence that could solve cancer, I would probably not be pivoting to horny chatbots//

This coming on the heels of American erotica writers getting systematically debanked by Visa/MC and friends really sucks. Insane that one can sell a machine trained on copyrighted erotica (without licensing it) to produce reams of machine erotica but one can’t sell actual erotica written by actual human beings.

The debanking dispute really doesn't have anything to do with AI, does it?

AI seems to be on everyone's mind to fill in the MadLibs of who to blame for what, but I don't see the point in conflating the two here.

Referring to a human comment as a madlibs is rude.

> anyway, insane that AI caused all this.

AI did not cause the debanking issue, please read more carefully.

The issue is that OpenAI will effectively be able to sell erotica and humans effectively cannot.

AI launching a feature and the debanking you mentioned are still unrelated, though.

The relationship is that the credit card companies are not accepting payments for erotica but are accepting payments for digested and regurgitated erotica.

Guess Altman and co. need to find a way to pay Oracle that $60 billion a year ...
