The examples used in the video below are predominantly about how and why Grok, Musk’s AI went off the rails, but the underlying problems apply to all of the AI currently out there. More worryingly, those problems also apply to the AI still in development as frontier companies push hard to take advantage of the goldrush that is AI. Speed is the operative word, and any pretence at caution is mostly cosmetic.

To put the speed of change into context, this video was published ‘one month ago’ [sorry Youtube doesn’t give a precise date]. As today is November 6, 2025 here in Australia, that means the actual date would have been on or near October 5 in the US.

That date is telling because, as part of the video, there is a clip of Sam Altman [OpenAI] being interviewed [minute 34:48]. In that interview he makes a point of saying “…we haven’t put a sexbot avatar in ChatGPT yet.”

That ‘yet’ says a lot because at 3:02am, October 15, 2025, Altman tweeted on X:

So, essentially, some time in December of 2025, ChatGPT will be allowed to…tickle your fancy. I wonder what the porn industry thinks of that?

The thing that worries me is not that people will be able to indulge their most erotic fantasies, it’s that OpenAI is so desperate to make money that it is happy to turn its flagship AI into a pornbot. Or perhaps the strategy is to make ChatGPT so ‘indispensable’ that people will keep paying for the privilege even as the price goes up and up and up?

Given that OpenAI and all the other AI developers are bleeding money and not earning even close to break even, they will have to make money somehow or go belly up when investors finally stop believing in the hype.

And, of course, if the sexbot gambit works, every other AI developer will have to provide something similar or get left behind.

AI slop? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
