<p>If anyone is familiar with Steam profiles, and specifically the profile pages of Valve's CS2 players, you will know that quite a few profiles have pornographic or nude ascii art in the comments.<p>These pages are publicly viewable, but would be viewable if you were required to have a Steam account. I'm not judging them morally, although Valve could easily do something with the privacy settings or remove them.<p>I've scraped lots of these Ascii porn comments, I've rendered them as PNGs via headless Chrome.<p>The problem now is that no LLM model is successfully detecting the PNGs as X-Rated because they work as visual illusions, in a similar way to bi-stable images (e.g. rubin's vase) or more accurately they work in a way similar to Pointillism (Gestalt).<p>Can anyone suggest an ML technique or model that would detect them successfully? This is just a side project for computer vision.<p>== Examples ===

<p>The title is misleading and click bait perhaps.<p>But you also get an idea of the average reading skill of people based on the top 3 comments: "I don't want a replacement for Git!"<p>I'm not blaming anyone, or maybe both the readers and the authors.<p>People now write something that could've been published as a short story 30 years ago, for something that could be a paragraph in length, detailing their emotional state, minute background information, their hopes and dreams.<p>The adaptive response to this by humans and society is to read the headline and ignore the prose, as the prose is so god damn long.<p>"Gitbutler is a UI for Git" would've been more suitable than hype about replacing git.</p>

<p>The title is misleading, it's not a git replacement</p>
