After receiving backlash, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that the company is not rolling back any restrictions related to "mental health."

Just two months ago, Altman boasted that OpenAI hadn't "put a sexbot avatar in ChatGPT yet." Now, it announced that it will allow for that. AI companies are losing billions of dollars, and investors will likely have to wait for years to see a return — if ever.

OpenAI will soon allow “erotica” for ChatGPT users who verify their age on the platform. In an X post on Tuesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the company will add support for mature conversations when it launches age-gating in December.

OpenAI needs a web browser if it's going to be truly useful. So Sam Altman will have a big job on his hands to convince people to use his new one.

At OpenAI’s Developer Day, CEO Sam Altman showed off apps that run entirely inside the chat window—a new effort to turn ChatGPT into a platform.

OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman said that the company is planning to “safely relax” restrictions on what kinds of conversations ChatGPT can engage in, and by the end of the year will even allow adult users to have sexually explicit conversations with the AI system.

Though OpenAI has announced new safety measures aimed at preventing similar tragedies, many are not yet part of ChatGPT. Common Sense Media has rated ChatGPT as "high risk" for teens, specifically recommending that they not use it for mental health or emotional support.

OpenAI says it will soon roll back some of ChatGPT's safeguards, and even allow the chatbot to engage in erotica for adult users.
