OpenAI to Allow Erotica in ChatGPT for Verified Adults Starting December
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a significant policy shift, revealing that ChatGPT will permit the generation of erotic and romantic content for verified adult users beginning in December. This decision follows years of user feedback advocating for an "Adult Mode" to accommodate writers and role-players frustrated by the platform's restrictive filters.
The MOVE aligns with OpenAI's new principle of treating adult users like adults, contingent on robust age verification measures. Altman emphasized that while initial restrictions were implemented to address mental health concerns, the company now believes it can balance safety with user enjoyment.
Competitors like Grok and Character.AI already offer uncensored content, but OpenAI's decision could reshape the landscape for AI-generated adult material. The announcement has sparked discussions about the ethical and technical challenges of age-gating in AI platforms.
