Tangentially related, Character.ai[1] has been filtering bot responses that get flagged as NSFW. Caressing is allowed, but undressing is not. When NSFW content is detected, the AI characters usually respond by blushing “beet red” in embarrassment. Not only has 4chan worked around the filter, but the progressively strict filtering is creating beet-loops in less risqué conversations. [1] https://beta.character.ai/
