OpenAI's adult mode will reportedly be smutty, not pornographic

TL;DR

  • The feature was initially announced in October but has been delayed due to internal concerns, technical challenges, and content moderation issues.
  • Concerns have been raised by advisers about the feature's accessibility to children and potential for unhealthy emotional dependence.
  • OpenAI's age-prediction system has shown an error rate where it misclassified minors as adults about 12% of the time.
  • Focusing on text may help OpenAI comply with regulations regarding age verification for visual content.
  • Rival AI like Grok allows image and video generation that is permitted in R-rated movies.
