Sex is not like other subjects, it is peculiarly liable to harm, obsess, distract us. Sexual content is uniquely powerful in its ability to reduce human beings to objects for use, and having the ability to generate endless amounts of it completely privately is a very dangerous power to have. I worry about what it will do to us to have this technology, and I worry that OpenAI is treating this subject with too little concern.

Incorrect. The modern industrial revolution and most wartime militaries demonstrate far more ability to do this.

I mean, anyone can pick up some artistic skill and do this without a computer. Everyone really can have this "very dangerous power" if they want to. Your statement is only valid if sex or pictures/text of sex is intrinsically harmful, which is untrue.
