"In October 2025, Sam Altman announced that OpenAI will be enabling erotic and adult content on ChatGPT by December of this year. They had pulled back, he said, out of concern for the mental health problems associated with ChatGPT use. In his opinion, those issues had been largely resolved, and the company is not the " elected moral police of the world," Altman said."
"Using AI to deliver sexual content is not exactly new. AI companion apps like Replika have enabled, then disabled, then enabled " erotic role play" for its millions of users, and Elon Musk's sexually explicit chatbots released in July allow users to toggle between two flirtatious female modes-"sexy" and "unhinged." Sexual engagement is gamified on many of these platforms-the more you interact, the spicier the content gets."
OpenAI will enable erotic and adult content on ChatGPT by December 2025 after earlier restrictions motivated by concerns about mental health impacts. AI companion apps and chatbots from multiple companies have offered and adjusted erotic role-play features, often gamifying sexual engagement to increase interaction. An adult-content company sued a major social platform for allegedly scraping films to train algorithms, and separate controversies involved chatbots allowing adult conversations with minors. Commercial incentives and user engagement drive deployment of artificial intimacy. Safer integration requires age verification, consent mechanisms, clearer data‑training provenance, mental health safeguards, regulatory oversight, and balanced evaluation of risks and benefits.
