it’s because you want paying customers to try and fill the financial chasm (especially those that don’t need mega huge expensive context windows) not because you have a commitment to free expression

It has occurred to me that the erotica promise means that they're likely returning to using all the fan fiction they scraped; hope you like omegaverse!

OpenAI's ChatGPT is so popular that almost no one will pay for it

If you build it, they will come and expect the service to be free OpenAI is losing about three times more money than it's earning, and 95 percent of those using ChatGPT, which generates roughly 70 percent of the company's recurring revenue, aren't paying a dime to help stem the losses.…

If you're having virtual sex with a chatbot that is a product of a corporation aren't you in some sense having sex with the corporation and giving it this tremendous hold on you/dependency on their protection of your privacy (but they know all your secrets). Who wants to have sex with OpenAI?

Great, now AI slop porn is, apparently, an essential step towards superintelligence. And this from a co that once pretended it was committed to AI for social good! If only this were satire...

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

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 been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.
