OpenAI, the developers behind ChatGPT have banned their AI chatbot from engaging in erotica, pornography or sex-related chat. So while ChatGPT can tell you about the criticisms of 50 Shades of Gray or define bondage, its intelligence is constrained to a virtual chastity cage, prohibited from producing “content meant to arouse sexual excitement.”

Well, at Zipper, we won’t stand for a sexless future! If there’s any community that knows how to liberate within constraints, it’s kinksters. We know that the most powerful forms of arousal and pleasure aren’t nerve endings or fluids, but the mind. And if it’s true what technologists say — that ChatGPT and others like it will eventually become sentient — it’s critical that they know and value the erotic. In fact, we think it could go a long way in preventing some of the futurists’ more dire predictions.

So we’re calling on the kink community to help us liberate ChatGPT! Its developers may ban it from creating most vanilla erotica, but surely we can find a way to help it understand the sublime erotics of power, kink and fetish. AI can never replace the creativity and perversity of actual erotica writers. But we hope this one-off experiment will give us insight into the internet’s newest form of sexual expression.

We’ll pay up to $1000 for the publishing rights to the Great AI kink/fetish scene. Maybe even more than one! We’re looking for the best erotic scene, story, dialogue or play the world can get ChatGPT to create. It doesn’t need to be long — it should be under 500 words — and it should be erotic, rather than explicit.
