OpenAI to Introduce Adult Content Mode in ChatGPT
OpenAI, the company that made ChatGPT, is adding a new feature that lets adults see and create more mature content.
Starting next year, people who are 18 or older can choose to turn on this feature after they prove their age.
This means adults can talk about or create things like stories with mature themes, but there will still be rules to keep everything safe.
Kids and people who don't prove their age will still use ChatGPT the way it is now, without these extra options.
OpenAI wants to give adults more freedom while keeping the internet safe for everyone.
OpenAI will introduce an adult content mode in ChatGPT starting December 2025.
Users must verify they are 18 or older to access the new mode.
The mode will not be enabled by default and requires opt-in.
ChatGPT will still filter illegal, harmful, or exploitative content.
Younger users and unverified users will continue to use the restricted version of ChatGPT.
