> have I just found myself in the middle of strangely puritan culture which would pile on me for a sort of a thought crime?

I would certainly find it very strange and off-putting if my friends were making porn of me, whether that was AI-assisted or if they were making drawings with pencil on paper. I don't think that makes me particularly puritanical.

Keep that stuff in your head.

It's not that. I meant that I was clear that I didn't do anything with it or intended to. And I wasn't asking if that's okay to do, but just expressed that I felt bad that this thought came to me, and I asked the thing.

They acted like just because of that I already committed some sort of a moral crime I need to atone for.

Everyone has all sorts of thoughts, some more intrusive than others. It's our actions that count.

nah, ask them whatever you want, but...

- do not blindly trust their output, they are sycophants

- your session may or may not be recorded, it can be used as evidence in court

don't beat yourself up about it, we all have questionable thoughts, it's a constant thunderstorm in our minds, lots of randomness and jumbling, practice calming the sea (Conquest of Mind is my goto book)

reddit is notorious for dog piling and hyperbolics, pay it little attention
