Discourse AI - NSFW

This topic covers the configuration of the NSFW (Not Safe For Work) module of the Discourse AI plugin.

Feature set

The NSFW modules can automatically classify the NSFW score of every new image upload in posts and chat messages in your Discourse instance. This system helps identify and manage content that may be inappropriate or explicit for a professional or public environment.
Optionally, you can also enable automatic flagging of content that crosses a threshold.

Settings

  • ai_nsfw_detection_enabled: Enables or disables the module

  • ai_nsfw_inference_service_api_endpoint: URL where the API is running for the module. If you are using CDCK hosting this is automatically handled for you. If you are self-hosting check the self-hosting guide.

  • ai_nsfw_inference_service_api_key: API key for the API configured above. If you are using CDCK hosting this is automatically handled for you. If you are self-hosting check the self-hosting guide.

  • ai_nsfw_models: The model we’ll use for image classification. We offer two different ones with their thresholds:

    • opennsfw2 returns a single score between 0.0 and 1.0. Set the threshold for an upload to be considered NSFW through the ai_nsfw_flag_threshold_general setting.
    • nsfw_detector returns scores for four categories: drawings, hentai, porn, and sexy. Set the threshold for each one through the respective ai_nsfw_flag_threshold_${category} setting. If the general one is lower than any of these, we’ll consider the content NSFW.
  • ai_nsfw_flag_automatically: Automatically flag posts/chat messages that are above the configured thresholds. When this setting is disabled, we only store the classification results in the database.

Thanks.

I found this issue when using the nsfw service, after uploading an image. I use S3 for image storage, if this is relevant.

In Sidekiq it looks like this:

What am I doing wrong?

I think this maybe related to S3 really. When uploading a picture, the error logs shows these errors:
URL to S3 redacted…
image

So it seems to be that the plugin tries to load the image too early or it does not find it due to other reasons.

I only tested it with sites using a CDN for S3 or using local storage. If using Object Storage I advise using a CDN to front it.

That’s exactly what we do - AWS Cloudfront. The stack is based on GitHub - aws-samples/aws-cdk-for-discourse: AWS CDK for Discourse. I’ll try to debug and post my results.
