OpenAI to Allow Mature Content on ChatGPT
OpenAI will permit mature content for verified adult users on ChatGPT starting in December, according to CEO Sam Altman.
The decision comes after the chatbot was made more restrictive to ensure careful handling of mental health issues, but this also made it "less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems."
“As we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our ‘treat adult users like adults’ principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults,”
said Altman in a post on X. This change aims to balance responsible content management with user experience.
