Latitude said that its system will flag potentially rule-breaking posts, which can then be further reviewed by a staff member. Some players feel alarmed that their private fiction with adult themes could be subject to moderation and read by another person from the development team. AI Dungeon allows for unlimited roleplay and storytelling possibilities, and Latitude supports other NSFW material, including sex, violence, and swearing. Users have been sharing examples of their stories coming to a sudden end when the test system seems to detect controversial content. An image of the AI Dungeon subreddit as of April 28, reflecting the community reaction Some of these posts are memes that are meant to be a simple dunk on the developer and little else, while other posts appear to reflect legitimate anger. The developer said that the test had unintended implications, writing: “While this test has largely only prevented the AI from generating sexual content involving minors, because of technical limitations it has sometimes prevented the generation of content that it wasn’t intended to.”įans have been reacting to these changes - both the intended purpose and unintended side effects - on Latitude’s social media.
As a result, it became difficult to hold the conversations we want to have about what type of content is permitted on AI Dungeon. Because of this, some misinformation has spread across Discord, Reddit, and other parts of the AI Dungeon community. We did not communicate this test to the Community in advance, which created an environment where users and other members of our larger community, including platform moderators, were caught off guard. Yesterday, we released a test system to prevent the generation of certain sexual content that violates our policies, specifically content that may involve depictions or descriptions of minors (for which we have zero tolerance), on the AI Dungeon platform.

On Tuesday, Latitude posted a long blog explaining the update in an attempt to assuage the community’s biggest concerns. According to a statement from Latitude, the system cast a far wider net than anticipated, sometimes blocking the procedural generation of stories involving children or anything related to specific phrases like “five years old.” The system (which the developer is currently testing) was designed to detect “explicit content involving descriptions or depictions of minors.” In that circumstance, AI Dungeon will tell the player “Uh oh, this took a weird turn…” and force them to try other prompts.
In a recent update, AI Dungeon developer Latitude implemented a new system that stops the game from generating sexual content involving minors - and the community is outraged at the implementation. AI Dungeon is an infinite, procedurally generated game in which players create a classic text adventure-style narrative by writing inventive or clever prompts.
