    What high-quality training data? more like people’s garbage opinions and kinks on Reddit.

      To be fair, it’s less about quality and more about quantity when training LLM.

      I mean, you just got me kinda excited that there might be a decently good AI sex chat in the near future. That thing will churn out interactive Literotica like it’s no one’s business.

        Do you really want to chat about that with the distilled essence of a million redditors?

          Their essence? No.

          The essence of the breadth and depth of their depraved fantasies, serving as training data for a custom-tailored experience?

          Hell yes.

          What else are a million incels good for? You know they got the wildest fantasies because they’re the furthest divorced from what sex actually is.

            I tried reading a selection of some male-targeted romance/erotica once. About a quarter of it was genuinely good, half of it just hated women, and the remainder was like “she was hot and had huge boobs.” Those last two were 50/50 themselves on whether I believed the author had ever touched a boob. Less if you only count consensually. And obviously harems were just fucking everywhere and personality beyond breast size was optional.

            It occurs to me I never read any gay/bi romance, maybe it’s better over there, but the point is:

            I understand your viewpoint, at least in regards to some extreme kinks, but pls no
