OpenAI to Lift Its Ban on Smut for Adult Users This December
Merry Christmas, you filthy animals!

OpenAI, the world’s hottest AI company and the makers behind the most powerful psychosis-inducing hallucination machine ever produced, announced that starting this December, adult subscribers to ChatGPT will be able to make their own erotica.
It was pretty clear to anyone paying attention that one of AI’s inevitable destinations was personalized smut generation. I just thought it would have taken a bit more time to get here.
In a post on X, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed growing complaints that ChatGPT has become “restrictive” and “less useful/enjoyable” due to OpenAI adding restrictions to the software to help safeguard people’s mental health. Altman acknowledged the company is in a tricky situation.
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have…
On one hand, they want ChatGPT to be fun for users, but on the other hand, they need to make sure it isn’t telling people to off themselves or their parents. Which, apparently, is quite a hard needle to thread.
So, one way OpenAI has decided to throw its dedicated users a bone, or as Altman put it, “treat adult users like adults,” is by letting them make as much smut as their hearts desire.
Maybe next year, OpenAI will cure cancer, but right now, they’ve got much bigger problems, angry users!
