- OpenAI will allow verified adult users to have erotic conversations with ChatGPT starting in December.
- The change reflects OpenAI's 'treat adult users like adults' principle and follows hints about allowing 'mature' applications with proper age verification.
- OpenAI had previously tightened restrictions due to mental health concerns but now claims to have better tools to detect user distress.
- The company has struggled to balance freedom and safety, shifting between permissive and restrictive content controls over the past year.
- Recent model changes, including GPT-5, have caused user dissatisfaction, leading OpenAI to reintroduce older model options.
- Upcoming updates will let users customize ChatGPT's tone, choosing between human-like responses, emoji-heavy replies, or friend-like interactions.
