OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has announced plans to allow sexual and erotic content on ChatGPT for verified adults, starting December 2025.
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues.
The decision aims to relax mental health-focused restrictions within the AI chatbot, while introducing more robust age-gating methods to protect minors.
According to the CEO, the initial restrictions were put in place to address mental health concerns, but may have made the platform less useful for some users.
