"I'm for people exploring their sexuality, but I want it in a way that's safe for them as well as fun. People have to be very aware that there's a surveillance aspect to the data."
"OpenAI first hinted at allowing adult users to generate erotica using ChatGPT two years ago in an official document describing how its models are designed to behave. While the company still seems to be planning its eventual release, the timeline is murky."
"What's different here is OpenAI's potential embrace of smut on a mainstream platform. Erotic chatbots are a revenue-driving business, but they are often relegated to niche sites with unremarkable names or Elon Musk's Grok, known for nonconsensual deepfake images and going into a 'MechaHitler' mode."
Julie Carpenter, a human-AI interaction expert, argues that chatbots are intentionally designed to encourage anthropomorphization through personalized interactions. OpenAI's planned adult mode allowing users to generate erotic content with ChatGPT presents new concerns about safety and data surveillance. While people already engage in sexual conversations with AI systems, OpenAI's mainstream platform differs from niche erotic chatbot sites. The company's advisory council has flagged risks including harmful scenarios. Experts note OpenAI aims to monetize behavior users already attempt, but the mainstream integration of sexual AI features raises questions about appropriate safeguards and user awareness of data collection implications.
