ChatGPT can now generate adult content, but with some caveats
OpenAI is rolling out a big update to ChatGPT this December, letting verified adults customize responses—including generating erotic content.
The company says this is about "treating adult users like adults" and relaxing old restrictions, but promises that protections for minors and people with mental health concerns will stay in place.
Stronger age checks and parental controls
After some backlash following the October announcement, CEO Sam Altman made it clear that user safety remains a priority.
OpenAI has introduced stronger age checks and better parental controls so minors aren't exposed to graphic or risky content.
These changes come as the company faces lawsuits and public worry about chatbots and teen safety.
Balancing flexibility for adults with safety standards
With these updates, OpenAI hopes to make AI more flexible for grown-ups while keeping younger users protected.
The goal is to offer more choices for adults without letting safety standards slip for anyone else.
