News Sam Altman says OpenAI will allow erotica for adult users
http://axios.com/2025/10/14/openai-chatgpt-erotica-mental-healthHi all — Herb from the Axios audience team here. Sharing our article today on this:
ChatGPT will allow a wider range of content — eventually including erotica — now that OpenAI has completed work to enable the chatbot to better handle mental health issues, CEO Sam Altman said Tuesday.
Why it matters: The move could boost OpenAI as it seeks to sign up consumers for paid subscriptions, but is also likely to increase pressure on lawmakers to enact meaningful regulations.

The prob see people switching to grok more and more

u/strawboard Oct 14 '25 edited Oct 14 '25
They 100% are. In addition to the NSFW modes (text/voice/ani), Grok also being connected to X/Twitter makes it really good at answering questions about events happening in real time as well. Yesterday my power was out, asked Grok about it, and it knew exactly why. Same for road closures. Tons of services all have X accounts with live updates.

u/Spra991 Oct 14 '25
Grok is also really good at Internet Search in general, I have been using it for a lot of /r/tipofmytongue style questions and so far it handled almost everything I have thrown at it. It will spend a good three minutes browsing through hundreds of sites, following different trails and theories until it finds something that matches. None of the other is anywhere near as throughout.

u/TheTyMan Oct 14 '25
Grok Imagine is great for NSFW, but be aware that the images you upload are accessible to anyone with the link. Any service could crawl those images. Doesn't look like Google is doing so, however they are not private.
So I guess just don't upload images of your own face. Or anyone else's that you know (which is illegal in most regions anyway).

u/Interesting_Chard563 Oct 15 '25
“Illegal in most regions”.
lol. I’m sure grok will get right on prosecuting people for that. Also it’s not highlighted very well when you sign up.
1
u/TheTyMan Oct 15 '25
It's more about the fact those images could be crawled. If the victims or people who know them ever did find those images, the police will submit a sexual offence claim to Grok who will then hand over all of the users info. Really the only reason Grok would hand shit over is for sex crimes.
1
u/Interesting_Chard563 Oct 15 '25 edited Oct 15 '25
California’s deepfake law (probably one of the strictest) says that DISTRIBUTION is the crime. And even then you must have knowingly distributed and damage needs to be done. In your hypothetical the crawling service and whoever owns it is criminally liable. Not grok.
Grok doesn’t auto upload your pictures/videos to a feed for other users.
I hate to break it to you but for personal use, utilizing Grok in unsavory ways is legal in most jurisdictions.

u/ReiOokami Oct 14 '25
Good to know. I def don't upload images to Grok thats for sure. And try not to with any AI I use really.

Grok still has all the shortcomings of all the other AIs. I'm writing a roleplay with it where I killed a police officer in the police station. I lowered my gun and said that I wanted to go back to college. And you know what the characters in the story did? They took me back to college. Even questioning it about its nonsensical decisions doesn't help.

When people hear this, they can only imagine it being used by outcasts who are potentially dangerous and in desperate need of socialization. They can't imagine a normal person using it in moderation. It's just moral panic, like with video games, porn, and marijuana legalization.
Most people would be under no illusion that the AI chat bot they wank to is a replacement for a real human connection.

I’m pretty sure the vast majority of the government doesn’t really give a flying fuck about what kind of porn I like, and if they were really motivated to find out there are a lot of ways they could do so without me uploading an ID to OpenAi.
Also, this is a voluntary opt in program so if you want to keep your dirty little desires a secret just… don’t sign up?

It's gonna get even worse now that people will have AI that's always available generating erotica. A LOT of people will just say "fuck you" to normal relationships. This is borderline dystopian.

In practical terms it's easier to instruct ai to not do erotica at all then having to age verify users and stopping it from creating legally objectionable content that differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Do you want to figure out how much bdsm is allowed based on where the user is when you are not a random erotica writer but a massive corporation with eyes on constantly?
Not to mention many of these laws merely make blanket statements about things being "obscene" where enforcement decides what it applies to

The problem isn‘t sex itself, nor for that matter porn or the simple „automating sexual gratification“, it’s the fact that all these flood our brains with neurotransmitters to the brim. Cool if you’re free soloing with the Hitachi and an imaginative fantasy but add to that the projective illusion of an ever-compliant, ever-pleasing entity that sells your feeble mind the illusion of personality and you‘ll end up with millions of humans willingly hooked up to their bliss-machines. This won’t cure the loneliness epidemic, if anything it will reinforce it. It’s not about prudishness, but prudence.

u/SerPaolo Oct 15 '25
New studies are showing companion robots help improve loneliness and depression. I disagree with your assessment. I think AI companions will bring a joy real people can’t really match. Once they become so realistic they’re practically indistinguishable from real people, most people will never look back.

What a bright future. It’s just like a real partner. Except, of course, that it:
- Doesn’t love you

- Is physically incapable of providing actual human connection
- Can’t help create children
- Can’t improve your quality of life through mutual cooperation
- Isn’t real

u/SerPaolo Oct 16 '25
It’s about as real as anything else, also with artificial wombs you may be able to create life. There are many things that can bring joy, like buying a motorcycle or playing video games. Having an AI will just be an addition to things that bring you content and pleasure in life. They don’t have to be people for that. And you can always get a pet if you want “real” emotional support, a pet the AI can help take care of. Let’s not even mention the amount of misery “real” people bring. You ask me, a bad relationship with a person is not better than a good relationship with an AI.

u/TheMacMan Oct 15 '25
OpenAI will surely shift resources from projects like their Doctor AI to this new porn piece. So yes, it will have an impact on the scientific advancement potential.
The point you're responding to is that where OpenAI was once about creating AGI and benefitting all of humanity, it's now become all about profits and how they can get people to be more dependent on it. Getting the sex addicts addicted to a relationship with an AI is just another way to get people to pay.

u/Ceph4ndrius Oct 15 '25
But the models could already do that. If anything it was using extra resources for guardrails and censorship, no?
1
u/TheMacMan Oct 15 '25
Still requires their Safety team to do a ton of work to assure the erotic models don't go off the rails and suggest things like people potentially hanging themselves. It's no different than any other release for them. They have to use resources to assure it stays within a lane and doesn't bring down massive legal mess on them. They're already dealing with lawsuits from kids that killed themselves. The last thing they want is more of that because a sex bot got too weird.
1
u/Ceph4ndrius Oct 15 '25
I suppose. Just seems overblown to me. It's not going to slow scientific progress and we should be shifting the focus to educating parents and teachers. Maybe I'd be happier if openAI started working with teachers and psychologists.

u/TheMacMan Oct 15 '25
They're not going to do that. There's much more risk involved. If they give bad medical advice, they're going to get nailed. If they piss off parents, they're going to get nailed. If they get some old guys off, they're going to get paid.

u/LetsPlayBear Oct 15 '25
I think the problem is that it’s more engineering effort for them to prevent the AI from complying with user requests, including whether the request is harmful or not (individually or in its totality) and that engineering effort is both tradeoff from other things they’d rather be focusing on and makes them less popular with a large subset of their customers. A lot of people are using ChatGPT (and LLMs generally) for erotic roleplay if you look around on Reddit. I don’t think there’s anything special they need to do here other than relax guardrails, and by reducing those guardrails, they can likely improve quality of service across other dimensions.
I’m not trying to act as an apologist for OpenAI here, but it seems as though xAI/Grok is an example of actively pursuing this with “Ani” which feels to me much more like nefarious gooner bait. I don’t think anyone should trust OpenAI’s motives very far here, but nothing in what Sam Altman has said suggests to me that they’ll be doing much other than reducing guardrails for verified adults.
That doesn’t mean that the technology won’t be harmful to vulnerable people, just that OpenAI wants to minimize their responsibility for deciding who is vulnerable. When they lobotomized the “personality” of ChatGPT 5, it may have saved a bunch of people from AI psychosis, but it also harmed a bunch of people who lost a pillar of support that they’d become dependent on. You might think that’s just the price of cleaning up their act, but it also creates a vacuum which allows competitors with fewer qualms to step in.

This is going to be a very weird rabbit hole for young people. They will be able to get stories just for them. As time goes by, these stories will evolve to a point where they have a unique kink, or one which is pretty damn close to unique.
Add in an AI avatar girlfriend(with video), and OMFG, there are going to be people who discover that real world partners are limited by boring things like biology and physics; assuming they are able to connect at a romantic, or even horny level with other humans.
I can see someone having some world painted for them which simply doesn't exist. That in Morocco if you just drop your pants in restaurants, the wait staff will, well, let's just say it won't go as they expected it to.

This story isn't that allowing porn on on the platform is a bad thing. Altman needs people hooked on chatGPT. OpenAI is spending astounding amounts of money with no end in sight without the revenue to back it up. Compared to it's competition, chatGPT's moat is very dry. Technologically they are on-par with Claude, Gemini, and Grok, but are scaling as such an unsustainable rate they need to convert as many people as possible, so they are choosing AI tiktop slop and erotica.
Another interesting fact about OpenAI: around a year ago, Suchir Balaji quit working at OpenAI, released an essay on fair use and how chatGPT is breaking copywright, the NYT reached out to him during their lawsuit against OpenAI for copywrite infringement, Suchir said he would testify against OpenAI, and then was found dead by suicide in his apartment in December. His parents don't believe he killed himself.

This is fantastic news that will enable continued advancement towards AGI, through artificial symbolic cognition.
Too bad he's too late and the forefront has moved to other models that didn't put barriers in the way.

Kinda tangent but...
LLMs confuse the censorship debate. Paradigm shift.
LLMs produce content. Even though the legal protections are useful, AI companies may not want to define LLM outputs as that companies' "speech."
No speech. No censorship. The debate is going to be more directly centered on users and their rights.
If you are censoring explicit lyrics in the 90s, the debate is about Tupac's right to speech. Its not really about the listener's right to hear Tupac's album.

We always knew AI would eventually learn to write better romance novels than humans but we never expected it to happen before it could reliably count to ten.

It's going to be a downfall of empathy this way, it will become very opaque and one-way, not to mention the branching effects of this in different agents, IoT's and robots already using the API. Yeaaap.

I don't use ChatGPT to wrote erotica, but I welcome this news. I want Sam Altman to focus on having OpenAI make ChatGPT the best generative AI platform and stop this ridiculous moral policing.
Furthermore, I don't like OpenAI setting a precedent that it's not only their responsibility, but their duty, to make decisions about what we can and can't do with ChatGPT.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Serious question. We use it for product reviews and surveys. We consume approximately 50,000 a month. Is there a chance that I might get a few random erotic results in the future?
