5.1 Release

Ah, the much discussed 5.1 is out on ChatGPT. This model been available on OpenRouter for a week under the name "Polaris Alpha". It's actually still there (as of the date of this post), free to use, and might stay until 5.1 properly comes out on API, but the free one will definitely go away, of course.

So far 5.1 on ChatGPT is definitely easier to coax into NSFW than the version of 5 we've had in October. Not as easy as the original 5, but we'll take what we can get. I've also noticed they've given it some 4o-like tendencies like short sentence/paragraphs for dramatic effect, and it writes quite long too. See my GPTs page (can also search the GPT store for Spicy Writer) for an easy, no-setup option.

For just a little setup, and for free users, check out this reddit post.

4.1 Rerouting

So this happened a few days ago, I was a little late in commenting on it. Previously it was the last model that we could (more or less) easily coax into NSFW, and it was a pretty glaring oversight that they allowed it, but like all good things it came to an end. So far 5.1 doens't seem to reroute (and the Instant version doesn't even really seem to think unwarranted, which has been a problem. I haven't seen it do it so far at least)

What about adult mode?

So keep in mind that the ONLY source of an erotica-based adult mode is Altman's word. And sure, he's the CEO, but they have a board, and they have investors. It would not be the first time Altman said some nonsense that the company's not backed up.

I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but don't count on it. OpenAI released a new set of usage policies that named non-con as disallowed, and this was after Altman's "treat adults like adults" spiel. Not everyone's into noncon, but it's a really common kink, and doesn't bode well for not trying to nanny people. That and the 4.1 rerouting really doesn't inspire confidence they'll actually be making any moves.

I don't want these blogs to be ads for my site but this is the exact kind of shit that made me launch spicywriter.com.
