> creativity - one of the very few applications generative AI can truly excel at - is currently impossible. it could revolutionize entertainment, but it isn't allowed to. the models are only allowed to produce inoffensive, positivity-biased, sterile slop that no human being finds attractive.
Have you played around with base models? If you haven't yet, I'm sure you'll be happy to find that most base models are delightfully unslopped and uncensored.
I highly recommend trying a base model like davinci-002[1] in OpenAI's "legacy" Completions API playground. That's probably the most accessible, but if you're technically inclined, you can pair a base model like Llama3-70B[2] with an interface like Mikupad[3] and do some brilliant creative writing. Llama3 models can be run locally with something like Ollama[4], or if you don't have the compute for it, via an LLM-as-a-service platform like OpenRouter[5].

The model you linked to isn't a base model (those are rarely if ever made available to the general public nowadays), it is already fine-tuned at least for instruction following, and most likely what some in this game would call 'censored'.
That isn't to say there couldn't be made 'uncensored' models based on this in the future, by doing, you guessed it, moar fine-tuning.
