ChatGPT Embraces Adult Content

OpenAI plans to roll back some ChatGPT safeguards, allowing verified adult users to engage with erotica by December. This shift follows the implementation of age verification and parental control features introduced in September. The company aims to 'treat adult users like adults,' granting more freedom in content for those who are verified. This decision comes after criticisms that ChatGPT was overly restrictive, impacting user experience. OpenAI will also release an updated version of ChatGPT in the coming weeks with customisable personalities, similar to the GPT-4o model, enabling more human-like interactions with options for emojis and friendly tones. These changes reflect a move towards balancing safety with user preferences, while addressing concerns about mental health issues and ensuring a more engaging chatbot experience.
