>It's harmful in that there exists a significant and vocal subset of users who does not wish to see that content or does not wish their children to do so
It's hard to think of a scenario where there's a child technical enough to run Gemma 3 locally but somehow unable to access any other written erotica. Project Gutenberg is full of erotic textual content and I haven't heard of anyone calling for that to be banned.
>Then there are the non-chat-gpt-app use cases (like customer support chatbots, automatic summarization etc), for which unprompted erotica is highly inappropriate. Those are the "business travelers" of AI, not the first thing one thinks of when talking about who uses AI models, but extremely important nonetheless.
And how many of these are going to be using Gemma, when Gemini over the API is cheaper, faster and easier to use?

The reason you're struggling to understand is that you're thinking about this logically.
Adult content is obviously freely available to any child or adult with minimum technical skills. What makes LLMs different is that it's "the new thing" and people respond differently to "the new thing".
