OpenAI is shifting its stance on NSFW content for ChatGPT, allowing it for verified adults. Initially, the service avoided this to protect vulnerable users but is now ready to explore more flexible interactions. Altman mentioned that by December, an expanded age-gating system would enable even more adult content like erotica.
This change isn’t abrupt; OpenAI has been considering a ‘grown-up mode’ since at least May 2024, indicating a willingness to responsibly introduce NSFW content while navigating the complexities of user expectations. The potential market for AI companionship is massive, projected to grow from $2.7 billion last year to $24.5 billion by 2034. This growth reflects the expanding interest in AI companions but also raises significant privacy concerns.
Recent misconfigurations in AI companion apps have exposed millions of private chat logs, emphasizing the risks associated with intimate data collection. As OpenAI pursues this new direction, there are serious implications for user privacy and emotional well-being that must be considered.
