Beyond the Filters: Sourcing and Fine-Tuning AI Models for Adult Chat Applications

View original discussion on Hacker News

Developers looking to integrate AI into adult chat applications often hit a wall with popular, mainstream models due to content restrictions. This discussion on Hacker News, initiated by a developer facing this exact challenge, sheds light on several viable pathways to find or create suitable AI models.

The Challenge: Mainstream AI's "Big No" to Adult Content

The core issue is that most widely-used commercial AI models are heavily filtered and programmed to refuse generating or engaging in adult-themed conversations. This necessitates looking beyond these polished, off-the-shelf solutions when building an "app for adults."

Key Strategies for Finding or Building Adult Chat AI:

The community offered several practical approaches:

  • Embrace Open Source: The consensus leans heavily towards open-source models. Unlike many commercial counterparts, open-source LLMs offer the transparency and flexibility needed. The discussion queried whether the original poster had considered open-source options in addition to commercial ones.

    • Direct Use & Fine-Tuning: You can run an open-source model as-is or, more effectively, fine-tune one on a dataset tailored to adult conversation. One commenter humorously suggested to "Fork DeepSeek's open weights. Rename it DeepD*ck." The general advice echoed by others was to "Fine tune an open source one?"
    • Jailbreaking: Even with some open-source models, applying "jailbreaking" techniques might be necessary to bypass inherent safeguards or alignment training.

  • Seek Out Community-Tuned Models: There's a vibrant sub-community dedicated to creating less restricted AI, particularly for generating "smut."

    • Niche Platforms: Commenters pointed out that "there are plenty of people fine tuning their own models." These specialized models are often found on platforms like Discord servers and Patreon accounts. Accessing these usually means needing to "get into the community to find the best fine-tunes."

  • Utilize Specialized Leaderboards: For a more direct approach to finding pre-existing uncensored or less-filtered models, dedicated resources exist.

    • Hugging Face UGI-Leaderboard: A key resource shared was the "UGI-Leaderboard" on Hugging Face, which tracks "Uncensored/Unfiltered/Untamed LLM Models."

  • Consider Emerging Models: The landscape is always evolving. A question was raised about "Grok 18+ models," indicating an interest in potentially less restrictive offerings from newer players, though specifics were not detailed in this thread.

Where to Discuss and Find More Info:

The discussion also touched upon the best places to seek such specific advice: * Reddit over Hacker News: It was suggested that "HN is a bit too high brow for this request," and that the original poster would "probably have better luck on Reddit" for more targeted communities and information.

Market Potential:

A brief but notable point was the acknowledgement of the significant market opportunity. One user commented, "The adult chat industry has huge revenue if you not disclose about chatbot to the public," with another calling it "future tech" and noting, "it has to be easy to get users for this, no cap!"

In conclusion, while mainstream AI providers shy away from adult content, developers are not without options. The path involves leveraging the open-source ecosystem, engaging with dedicated communities, and utilizing specialized resources to find or create AI models that can cater to adult chat applications.
