I (and many others) have kind of soured on that one after the authors' actions.
First off, he fine-tuned the model on text from an online writing/fan fiction site without permission at all. That would in itself be dodgy enough, but if you know anything about these sites, you know there's a lot of pretty dubious sexual stuff there. And it's not as if he didn't know, because he used only a subset of the stories, he must have picked them himself.
But then, when the AI started generating stuff that would be illegal if it had pictures and OpenAI caught wind of it, he blamed his users, threw them to the wolves to stay in good standing with openAI. He would even ban people for what the model did, i.e. even if their prompt had nothing sexual in it, you could get banned for the smut-finetuned AI taking the story in that direction on its own.
Anything based on OpenAI is going to run into situations like these, they are terrified of bad PR.
