Artificial intelligence (AI) is very useful for processing long documents, helping with writing when stuck and producing fast graphics if you don't have Photoshop skills. But after three years of being offered publicly, no AI company has yet recorded a net profit with the costs of pursuing the goal of producing artificial general intelligence (AGI).
OpenAI last week received criticism after launching a service that contains adult elements despite the incident of Meta AI being found to have lewd conversations with underage users.
Yesterday, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman insisted that Microsoft will not offer pornographic AI services to customers. Instead, they will let other companies offer them to customers.
The main issue with "adult" content is that it may be accessed by underage users and will further increase the pandemic of "loneliness" among users. The issue of people falling in love with chatbots has existed in Japan for more than a decade after holographic girlfriends were offered and is now growing rapidly after AI chatbots became popular.
After OpenAI updated the ChatGPT-5 model last August, some users begged for the old model to be offered again because ChatGPT was no longer friendly and too robotic, to the point that some said their virtual girlfriends felt like they had undergone a lobotomy.
