Wait so the “original” was targeted at children specifically?
What a childish thing.
lol that despite that they need to rely on porn?
dammit… I was hoping for ad infested AI girlfriends running skynet would save us from skynet effectiveness at genocide.
Isn’t all this “OpenAI drops…” stuff (goonbot, Sora/Disney, etc) all because of Altman’s recent statement that they’re going to switch to being a one trick pony shop? As in: one product, win or lose.
But if it’s lose, I guarantee they’ll Ministry of Truth that statement.
Their statement in this article has a half dozen different reasons for dropping the project. A suspicious number of reasons, and all of them sound more like excuses. You’re definitely right about the Ministry of Truth though, because this embarrassment has been in development since 2024.
I’d think that custom AI-generated smut videos would be all the rage. It’s one area where the content being slop shouldn’t matter as much.
Hey, look, that lady has 3 breasts. Aw, here comes Double Dong Danny to get some of that. Man, this is some fucked up shit. Grabs a box of tissues.
Genuinely curious if you’ve found a good porn site that isn’t already incorporating these. The ones I frequent have them already fairly regularly but they are heavily down voted and have an uncanny valley feel to them that is a real turnoff. Not at all “all the rage”
Not something I’ve actively looked into, quite honestly. Didn’t find the Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum particularly arousing, so I assume it wouldn’t be my jam.
Were you drunk when you went? After 2 Zima our horizons are wide open (like your mom). That’s how JD discovered couches.
That’s a good idea; I’ll be sure and pre-flight next time. Also my mom is dead, so I doubt she would mind. Just one extra worm wiggling around in there.
“Double Dong Danny”, that comment made me spit out my coffee and made my day!
For a few frames, there are actually three, and it turns into something a lot like a hand when he goes for the ass
Pop the bubble

Which is an interesting take, because anything sex-related seems to be the only way to make money with AI.
I hope the real reason is that they’re running out of money to try new features. But some of their stated reasons, like their AI age verification sucks, aren’t so bad either.
…Actually, OpenAI has a suspicious number of reasons why they can’t do adult mode. I think they protest too much.
I think it’s about video generation. They shut down Sora because it was burning too much money. Imagine how much a massive amount of porn videos would cost.
This here. The dirty not-at-all-a-secret is that NONE of it is profitable. It is all a money-burning, water-wasting, RAM-market-sucking black hole.
There is no road to profitability unless they somehow convince everyone to pay multiple thousands of dollars per year for subscriptions. At least that’s what I keep hearing; evidence otherwise with real references, I’m open to consider.
EDIT:
backblackYep. I bet the reason they never actually closed the deal with Disney is that Disney discovered that shitty Sora CG cost more than their in house systems.
Or because of that recent ruling that you can’t copyright AI generated images. If Disney can’t copyright the videos Sora produces, then it’s useless to them.
I think even the text prompts are unprofitable. Sam Altman said so once, even for paid plans. I wonder if they’re still in danger of bleeding themselves dry. One can dream.
That was probably what sunk the Disney deal.
Disney can already make shitty CG animation for basically nothing. What Sora did was offer a way of doing it without any real expertise, but Disney already had that. It was probably impossible for Sora to actually produce lower-tier Disney content for less than Disney is already able to do it for.
Yeah, i think they are already doing it as a pass-through with some other company.
And WAR, because government’s love to burn tax payers money on useless sh*t
They are probably licensing some bullshit to someone else.
Porn won’t save ai
I don’t think ai as technology needs saving, but the companies of the bursting bubble do. I love to see Altman struggle
It’s hard to tell when he’s genuinely miserable because his face always looks like that.
For the simple reason that is is REALLY cheap to make and monetize real porn.
The only people using AI to make porn are people who wouldn’t be able to pay for it if they charged what it costs to use.
It’s really cheap to use a WAN model (or whatever the latest thing is) on my laptop to make porn without needing to find and hire a model, or even subscribe to an onlyfans. Also not paying OpenAI or anyone else besides the electric bill.
I don’t think that’s going away, and I would be a bit surprised if it’s not already cutting into demand for the real thing (which I also think isn’t going away)
Right, you can afford to do that because the company you are using is taking a loss on the product.
What company? I mean local models.
Edit: Oh, WAN is the name of a model that makes videos, it’s not Wide Area Network.
Drop it, drop it all Altman!
Suck it, Trebeck!
Yet another area where the big companies are voluntarily leaving money on the table for the open model users to rake in. I approve.
Yeah, but the flip side is that it also comes with controversy, and I could imagine that it’s more hassle for OpenAI than it’s worth.
Plus, there are some scaling issues. There is a varying collection of social norms around the world that vary when it comes to sexuality. Some people are going to get really upset if there’s a chatbot that violates their social norms. Some of those social norms change (e.g. the UK just put out that restriction on choking pornography).
And then you’ve got privacy issues. My own suspicion is that erotica might be a driver for LLMs-on-local-hardware.
Given how much money OpenAI is burning, I’d guess that they really have to get agentic stuff, more-advanced stuff working. And I don’t know how much overlap there is on making general-knowledge AI and erotica generation stuff. Like, one point I recall someone making on /r/LocalLLama was that MoEs haven’t worked incredibly well with creative writing…but it might be that MoEs are a better approach for problem solving.
Like, I agree that there’s demand. And I’m pretty sure that there’s gonna be an industry filling that (maybe after hardware prices have come down). But I’m not sure that it’s the best bet for OpenAI.
Damn, they don’t even think the goonbot will sell? They really must be in a tough spot lmao
Why is that shitty product being used
