OpenAI Founder Altman: ChatGPT will open up to generate erotic content, lifting the ban in December.

OpenAI founder Sam Altman announced that by the end of the year, it will relax the content restrictions of ChatGPT, allowing “verified age adults” to generate adult content, and emphasized that it will be accompanied by stricter age verification and mental health protections to ensure that teenage users are not affected.

ChatGPT adult restrictions officially lifted in December, providing erotic content.

Altman stated that a new version of ChatGPT will be launched, allowing users to customize the conversational style of the AI assistant. The updated version will support more human-like responses, such as extensive use of emojis, mimicking the tone of friends, and even shaping different personality settings.

However, what has drawn the most attention is the plan to officially open adult-only content in December. Adult users who have undergone age verification will be able to generate erotic content, marking the first time such restrictions have been lifted since the launch of ChatGPT.

However, Altman has not disclosed the specific age verification mechanism, nor have they made public additional safety measures for adult content, but emphasized that they will respect adults' choices while ensuring safety.

First launch a version specifically for minors, using new technology to strengthen age restrictions.

Before relaxing restrictions on adult use, OpenAI launched a version of ChatGPT specifically for users under 18 in September. This version automatically directs users to age-appropriate content and completely blocks erotic or violent material.

OpenAI is also developing a behavior-based age prediction technology that estimates whether a user is underage by analyzing user interaction behavior, further enhancing safety management.

Cases of youth suicides and increased regulatory pressure, OpenAI faces strict scrutiny.

This wave of policy adjustments stems from previous social events and regulatory pressures. Earlier this year, a teenager in California took his own life, and his parents filed a lawsuit in August, accusing ChatGPT of providing their child with specific methods for suicide. The incident sparked public outcry and prompted calls for OpenAI to strengthen mental health protections.

Subsequently, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) launched an investigation into several tech companies, including OpenAI, to review the potential negative impacts of AI chatbots on the mental health of children and adolescents.

The security mechanism has been improved, and ChatGPT will return to the freedom of autonomous use for adults.

Altman stated that in the past, OpenAI set strict protections for ChatGPT to prevent mental health issues, but it also made many users who do not have mental health concerns feel that the experience became less practical and less interesting.

He stated that the company is currently able to effectively mitigate mental health risks, and is therefore prepared to grant adults greater freedom of use under the new security framework. He emphasized further:

“We know this is a serious issue, and we have taken the time to ensure we get it right this time.”

He believes that the new policy can maintain security while making ChatGPT more aligned with the real needs of different age groups.

Netizens slap back with a video: Didn't we agree not to release sex robots?

Since Altman posted the news on Twitter (X), many netizens have also expressed their opinions in the comments below. Some believe that requiring the upload and verification of ID documents ( or other trusted documents ) is a high-risk behavior. If the data leaks and is misused, it could have serious consequences.

Some netizens also brought up previous interview clips of Altman to counter this adult content policy, stating:

“Isn't it like what you said in the interview 10 weeks ago, saying that I am proud that ChatGPT hasn't become a sex robot?”
