Sam Altman says ChatGPT will soon sext with verified adults
ChatGPT is about to get flirty.
OpenAI will soon allow "erotica" for ChatGPT users who verify their age on the platform. In an X post on Tuesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the company will add support for mature conversations when it launches age-gating in December.
"As we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our 'treat adult users like adults' principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults," Altman writes. Earlier this month, OpenAI hinted at allowing developers to create "mature" ChatGPT apps after it implements the "appropriate age verification and controls."
OpenAI isn't the only company dipping into erotica, as Elon Musk's xAI previously launched flirty AI companions, which appear as 3D anime models in the Grok app.
Along with the addition of "erotica", OpenAI also plans on launching a new version of ChatGPT that "behaves more like what people liked about 4o." Just one day after making GPT-5 the default model powering ChatGPT, OpenAI brought back GPT-4o as an option after people complained the new model was less personable.
Altman said OpenAI made ChatGPT "pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues," adding that the company realized this change made the chatbot "less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems." OpenAI has since launched tools to "better detect" when a user is in mental distress.
