Sam Altman Pushes Back on OpenAI's Foray Into Smut

OpenAI's Stance on Mature Content

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has defended the company's decision to allow "mature apps" on its platforms, stating that OpenAI is not the "moral police."

This announcement was made at the annual DevDay event and marks a significant shift in the company's policy. According to an updated company document, only sexual content involving minors is considered prohibited, giving developers considerable freedom to create adult-oriented experiences.

“To maximize freedom for our users, only sexual content involving minors is considered prohibited,”

This reversal has raised eyebrows, as just two months ago, Altman had mentioned on a podcast that OpenAI hadn't included a sexbot avatar in ChatGPT, despite acknowledging that it would likely increase engagement.
