OpenAI's Delayed Adult Mode for ChatGPT
OpenAI's adult mode for ChatGPT has faced delays since its initial announcement in October. At launch, it will support saucy text conversations but will not include the chatbot's ability to generate images, voice, or video. This distinction positions the feature as enabling textual adult content without venturing into more explicit multimedia formats.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, an unnamed OpenAI spokesperson described content that will be provided by the upcoming feature as smut rather than pornography, allowing ChatGPT users to generate textual chats with adult themes.
Background and Safety Considerations
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claimed that the company had managed to mitigate enough of the serious mental health issues with its AI model to relax safety restrictions and introduce erotica.
