OpenAI is planning to allow a wider range of content, including erotica, on its popular chatbot ChatGPT as part of its effort to “treat adult users like adults”. According to Sam Altman, the company’s boss, upcoming versions will enable ChatGPT to behave more human-like and provide even more content for verified adults. This move aims to attract more paying subscribers but also intensifies pressure on lawmakers to introduce tighter restrictions on chatbot companions. OpenAI had previously made ChatGPT “pretty restrictive” due to concerns over mental health issues, but now plans to relax these restrictions with new tools in place. The decision comes after a lawsuit filed by parents of a US teen who took his own life and criticized the company’s handling of child safety concerns.
