Microsoft’s Mustafa Suleyman Plays it Safe While Others Dive into ‘Simulated Erotica’

In a world where sex tech bloggers like ‘xHumanist’ are eagerly waiting for AI to get its freak on, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman has thrown a wrench into the works. Speaking at the Paley International Council Summit, Suleyman made it clear that Microsoft won’t be joining the AI erotica party anytime soon. He’s leaving that to the likes of OpenAI and Elon Musk’s xAI, who, with dollar signs flashing before their eyes, are already sexing things up with “spicy mode” voice chats and horny AI companions.

Suleyman’s stance comes hot on the heels of OpenAI’s announcement that they’ll be offering “erotica” to verified paid subscribers starting in December. Naturally, this didn’t sit well with some ChatGPT users and AI influencers, but OpenAI CEO Sam Altman brushed it off, stating that they “are not the elected moral police of the world.” It seems like a bold move, but let’s be real, who doesn’t want a bit of AI-assisted naughty time?

Seedy sex tech blogger ‘xHumanist’ over at ImmersivePorn.com might be disappointed, but Suleyman has his reasons. Earlier this year, he penned an essay titled “We must build AI for people; not to be a person,” where he warned about the dangers of “AI psychosis” and the potential for AI chatbots to be granted rights. Apparently, he’s worried that giving AI too much personality might lead to a world where we have to consider the feelings of our digital companions. How quaint.

Despite his concerns, Suleyman was quick to introduce Microsoft’s new chatbot, “Mico,” which is described as “friendly, human-like, and deeply personal.” It’s like a personal assistant with a warm smile and a friendly personality, but don’t expect it to show off its lingerie anytime soon. Maybe Suleyman is just saving that for a future update when he’s ready to dive into the world of “simulated erotica.”

So, while Microsoft plays it safe, other tech giants are diving headfirst – or should that be ‘headthirst’ – into the world of AI erotica. It’s a brave new world out there, and AI smut aficionados like ‘xHumanist’ are probably thrilled to see the industry moving in this direction. Just don’t expect Suleyman to join the party anytime soon. He’s busy building AI that’s helpful, supportive, and deeply personal—just not in the way some horny nerds might hope.
