"In May of 2024, while I was combing through OpenAI's "Model Spec" laying out how ChatGPT should act, one comment buried in the document struck me as peculiar. It said OpenAI was "exploring" how to let adult ChatGPT users generate content with mature themes such as "erotica, extreme gore, slurs, and unsolicited profanity." Seems like the exploration phase is over."
"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently posted on social media that an update coming to ChatGPT this December will allow the chatbot to engage in "even more" types of content like "erotica for verified adults." In a follow-up post, Altman said erotica was just one aspect of OpenAI's larger "freedom for adults" stance and that his startup was "not the elected moral police of the world.""
OpenAI plans to expand ChatGPT's capabilities to permit adult users to generate mature-themed content, including erotica, extreme gore, slurs, and unsolicited profanity. Sam Altman announced a December update enabling content like erotica for verified adults and framed the change as part of a "freedom for adults" stance. The company previously restricted sexually explicit outputs and took action against developers who created X-rated companions. Experts warn that allowing mature content may normalize sharing intimate information with chatbots and reshape how users form emotional and sexual connections with AI. OpenAI did not answer detailed questions about the planned change.
