OpenAI to Allow Erotica Content for Verified Adults on ChatGPT
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has announced plans to permit erotica content for verified adults using ChatGPT, sparking controversy.
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues.
The decision aims to relax mental health-focused restrictions within the AI chatbot, while introducing more robust age-gating methods to protect minors, starting December 2025.
The CEO stated that the initial restrictions were in place to address mental health concerns, but acknowledges that this made the platform less useful for many users without mental health issues.
