""To maximize freedom for our users, only sexual content involving minors is considered prohibited," reads an updated company document about what will be allowed, suggesting wide latitude for developers to use the company's platform to craft naughty experiences for users. As observers quickly pointed out, it was a pretty astonishing reversal for the company. Just two months ago, its CEO Sam Altman had boasted on a podcast that OpenAI hadn't "put a sexbot avatar in ChatGPT yet" - even though, he conceded at the time, doing so would be sure to boost engagement."
""Ok this tweet about upcoming changes to ChatGPT blew up on the erotica point much more than I thought it was going to!" he wrote in a lengthy response to the drama. "It was meant to be just one example of us allowing more user freedom for adults." Some of his new commitments were milquetoast, like promising that adult capabilities would be restricted to adult users."
OpenAI announced a move to allow "mature apps" on its platforms, with updated policy language stating only sexual content involving minors is prohibited. The change signals broad allowances for adult-oriented developer-created experiences, including erotica. CEO Sam Altman had previously noted the company had not added a "sexbot avatar" to ChatGPT while acknowledging such features would likely boost engagement. Mainstream tech companies have typically avoided explicit adult content due to moderation, ethics, and agency concerns. OpenAI says adult capabilities will be restricted to adult users and that safety for teenagers will be prioritized over privacy and freedom.
