Redditors ask: will a frontier-grade, minimally restricted model ever exist?
Dogbold · reddit · 2026-10-03
A popular Reddit thread asks whether a frontier-quality model will ever exist that only filters genuinely illegal or extreme content and doesn't care otherwise. The author wants AI help for fictional NSFW/violent games — nothing involving real people — but every major vendor's ToS forbids it. The discussion points to advertisers, payment processors, and moral pressure as the real blockers, with NovelAI as the only niche exception, and concludes the situation is unlikely to change soon.
