Can someone please summarize in plain English what is the story (or “drama”) here? I had a hard time making sense of this article full of weird lingo and screenshots of some social media exchanges - about what exactly? A chat AI that gets tricked into perverted exchanges? Some startup without a viable business model?
I think I lost brain cells trying to read the post (the font doesn't help). In my post lobotimzed state, I would summarize as:
There's a site called Character AI that allows users to customize a large language models output to be like a specific character. Some people start using this pornographically by, well, you know. The creators don't like it (maybe because of monetization issues), add a censorship filter, there's a cat and mouse game and the filter gets stronger at the cost of the LLM's output, the people using it for pornography are mad, the end.
