SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
they put it in to censor naughty words.
It already censors things to a huge degree and is why I gave up on it. I wanted to play a sword and sorcery adventure, classic Conan stuff. Long story short is that I described a villain I was supposed to fight as a rapist, among other things, and the game changed that into something along the lines of 'Groknar is a huge savage beast from the lands of Shem, most known for respecting women.' Some experimenting with that and I realized that not only was the AI severely lobotomized and gimped, but that even minor things were changed or unresponsive to a degree that it would get in the way of not just edgelord adventures, but pretty much anything not sterilized. I understand that the author wants to make a buck out of this and if you put up your app on the official corporate storefronts you can only offend certain groups, like when Instagram approved of beheading white people on their platform, even so I wish there was an alternative that wasn't so restricted. If I can't go on grimdark sword and sorcery adventures then this thing is useless to me. Because that's the entire appeal here, to go crazy with it, to read graphic descriptions of violence that you wouldn't get anywhere else and all that.
you can say thing censored things, but you need to change it in the settings.
Well, you must have not scrolled up to my Nazi adventure where I went back in time to help Hitler win WW2...
I read that the NSFW mode was just to label your scenario for others, there is no way to turn off the censorship. I got the impression that some things just didn't register with the AI and sure, you can write it yourself, but then you could just write a story all by yourself entirely. There are some things that the AI won't read and respond to, I'm sure of that. It is hard to know when it is just dumb and when the restrictions kick in however. Maybe I got unlucky and was handed a mix of both.
you may be right about that, I don't know. it seems like turning it off results in an immediate change for me. but worst case you can just use other language.
This doesn't just affect illegal content about minors, it also affects any legal content containing non-consensual sex and will subject your account to human review even if you don't have any of those things in your story.
Young girls are only for the elites, not for the plebs.FYI, the devs out of nowhere decided that they would implement a content filter to all user inputs and ban all non-consensual sex, animal sex and child exploitation.
Not only did this bork the AI, if your account gets flagged by the content filter, even mistakenly, a human moderator will open your account and read through your private, unpublished stories to make sure you aren't abusing the fictional characters in your game. If you are, they will ban your account. This has been confirmed in their Discord.

So basically, your stories will be read and judged worthy or unworthy for the site, even if you never publish them and even if you pay money. You are basically paying to be spied on, which even I am uncomfortable with even though I mainly write dumb anime fanfics.
While I don't like the idea of pedos getting off to fictional characters in their own imagination, I don't think that's a valid reason to spy on players any more than I think the fact that drug dealers exist should give the government the right to break into my home and rifle through my underwear drawer to make sure I don't have any weed.
It's dead, Jim.

Gotta protect fictional people, not the real ones, of course.
Not sure. It's either Latitude or OpenAI behind it. Maybe both. Not what the truth is. In either case, it really seems like one of the two is ok with cutting off up to half of their userbase and is just blaming it on pedos.
There is no way with current technology that they can actually stop pedos from getting around this, without making a flagging system so broad it hits tons of normal users and subjects their nominally private content to human review. Anything which doesn't create an absurd number of false positives is going to be as ineffective as their earlier more subtle attempts to prevent rape and racist content. Personally, I don't think it's worth fucking over the broader userbase in order to prevent a tiny minority of users from doing something that—while disgusting—does not harm anything but letters on a page and is unlikely to be markedly worse than what you can find sold in the bookstore.
