Let users generate anything with AI - 10% of results were NSFW

Built anycrap.shop where users can generate any product with AI. They generated everything. Including 1000+ dildos. Manually moved them to a new NSFW category. My life choices are questionable.

What Happened

Gave users unlimited AI product generation.
Expected: fun and quirky absurd stuff
Got: That plus a LOT of adult products
Like, a concerning amount.

The Solution (Manual Labor Edition)

Spent weekends manually reviewing and moving ~1500 products to a new NSFW category.
Yes, manually.
I hope, all of them.
No, I don't want to talk about it.

Current Status

• NSFW category: exists

• Products: categorized by hand

• My browser history: cursed

• Automatic filtering: in the backlog

Lessons Learned

1. "Generate anything" is too powerful
The internet will use ALL of it.

2. Manual moderation doesn't scale
This worked for 1000 products. Won't work for 10,000.

3. Should've added filters from Day 1
Hindsight is 20/20. Foresight was 0/20.

4. The internet remains undefeated
Always has been. Always will be.

What's Next

Build actual content filtering before this gets worse.
Keyword detection? AI moderation? Just disabling generation entirely?
Still figuring it out.

Tech: Next.js, Cloudflare Workers AI, regret
Current approach: Manual categorization (send help)
Future approach: Actual filters (hopefully)
Anyone else manually moderate AI-generated content? How's your therapy going?
