"We plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). In December, 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."
"The delay is tied to technical challenges regarding safety guardrails and age verification features to keep the mature content off of minors hands. The model's age-prediction system has in the past misclassified minors as adults almost one in 10 times, which could virtually open up doors for millions of minors to interact with erotic content."
OpenAI announced plans to introduce new ChatGPT features including erotic content for verified adult users, particularly targeting those in romantic relationships with the chatbot. CEO Sam Altman promised these features would launch in December as part of an "treat adult users like adults" principle. However, the rollout has been significantly delayed due to technical challenges with safety guardrails and age verification systems. According to OpenAI sources, the age-prediction model has misclassified minors as adults in approximately 10% of cases, creating substantial risk of exposing millions of minors to mature content. This safety concern has prompted the company to postpone the feature release indefinitely.
