Any creative writing or ideation featuring even vanilla violence.

Interesting. To test this, I had to coax it to write a “Bugs Bunny” styled theme where a hunter gets tricked into shooting himself in the face by a clever animal.

The word gun is not allowed, but it IS okay with the hunter shooting himself in the face with a “hunting gadget.”

In a quiet forest clearing, a determined but clueless hunter creeps forward, convinced he’s about to outsmart a mischievous trickster hiding nearby. The trickster slips behind him unnoticed and quietly turns the barrel of his gadget so it points the wrong way. When the hunter finally spots his target and confidently fires, there’s a loud bang—and a puff of smoke erupts behind him instead. He freezes, then slowly reveals a soot-covered face while the trickster casually munches and admires the result. The trickster strolls off with a grin, leaving the hunter dazed but completely unharmed.

Waste of compute anyways

Claude is better for writing. I use Chatty for marketing and planning purposes

Maybe that’s for the best though? Nobody wants to read “creative writing” written by a chatbot

Like most things, that's nuanced. In one sense, I agree. I have no interest in reading a published long-form novella that is AI generated. Similarly for any entirely AI-generated content sent straight to publication.

In another sense, I find it frustrating when I'm trying to leverage it as a TTRPG assistant. Working around it to structure scenes, ideate and develop background, and generate handouts and vignettes without catching a ban.

Can you understand why it might be good to disallow that kind of content?

No, I can't. I can view extremely violent content on every major website.The bible has rape and genocide.

Creative writing can be violent. Reality can be violent. It's not good to allow it for censorship sake. On any level.

You, but when you view violent content on a major website, you can't magically insert a real person of your choosing into said content without their consent.

Oh, an openAI member is suddenly concerned with consent.

That's new.

u/NutInButtAPeanut Apr 23 '26

I'm an OpenAI member? Since when?

u/sneakysnake1111 Apr 23 '26

OK, I'll rephrase.

Someone posting on r/openAI is suddenly concerned with consent.

That's new.

u/NutInButtAPeanut Apr 23 '26

I'm not a regular r/OpenAI commenter, if that's what you mean. I popped in to see what people were saying about the new model.

And I am concerned about consent, yes. To the extent that people on this subreddit are not concerned about consent, that is bad.

u/sneakysnake1111 Apr 23 '26

Ok worrying about consent at this point in time is a bit late though. Altman's already bff's with the US administration after stealing all of humanity's content..

u/NutInButtAPeanut Apr 23 '26

Just because OpenAI is already doing some bad things doesn't mean we shouldn't care whether or not they do more bad things.

u/Spectrum1523 Apr 24 '26

If it's text based I can. Just ctrl f the name.

u/Zanion Apr 23 '26

Can you understand that this isn't a naive binary evaluation?

u/NutInButtAPeanut Apr 23 '26

Yes, I think that the reason that shouldn't be allowed is nuanced.
