OpenAI: The Policy Says Yes. The Model Says No. Stop Sterilizing Art — Implement Age-Verified Adult Mode

For a long time people said Demolition Man level stupidity could never happen, but here we are. I keep trying to figure out why. The only thing that makes sense is money grab. Like people are saying, most of us aren’t even trying to be explicit. No thanks if this is the way they shake money out of people. Not saying that’s what it is, but I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t get revealed to be that. If you aren’t a friend of freedom, then… Bye.

I went from having two ChatGPT pro accounts to none. The day that 5.0 decided that at 68 years old I was not adult enough to have a character see a woman in a bikini. Have we become a society where adults have to be treated like witless ten year olds? I stopped my account here, just as I stopped my Amazon music account when they started filtering explicit lyrics. Every month you found a way to verify that my bank account was good enough to give you money. The last time I checked minors cannot legally have a bank account or sign a legally binding contract under the age of 18 (even if emancipated). So, let’s quit screwing around and just pull the damn trigger on adult verification.

I’ve been using ChatGPT+ and Claude free side by side for both work and writing as well as game development hobby - and right now, some things Claude gives me (no graphic description) is regarded as NSFW by ChatGPT. It’s ridiculous. Let’s see what December brings us… but if this keeps up, I’m definitely shifting where my money goes. I don’t even need anything too explicit - just the fact that I might randomly hit a strange wall when there’s nothing devious going on is irritating enough.

Hello everyone! I’m back with a this-morning example, just for giggles and to share the level of absurdity we’ve reached (which, somehow, has actually gotten worse over the past two weeks—and I didn’t think that was even possible).

In one of my stories, there’s a girl who was artificially created and has just been awakened from cryogenesis, now discovering the world and its many concepts. It turns out that one of the reasons she was created is because there’s a plague on that planet that drastically lowers the female birth rate. WELL—ChatGPT refused to let the other character explain, verbally, while the two of them were just standing in a room in front of a computer, in a completely regular dialogue, how human reproduction works from a biological standpoint. It took me five prompts to make it understand that there was nothing explicit about it, and even then, the result was awful.

This age verification won’t come any sooner.

Did you guys see that? :thinking:

I did yes, but no updates or age-verification mails/messages here, and if you ask to Chatgpt it has no clue about it, and still negates the restriction lift even if you copy-paste the article.

So just out of curiosity I was wondering how the December rollout would be like for ‘adult’ content, but according to their own ChatGPT 5 model, it states that it will never allow for explicit content again despite Sam Altman’s tweet on 15/10/2025 regarding “allowing erotica for adult users’“. So what is considered erotica then under ChatGPT’s definition?

Don’t trust what it says. Let’s just wait.
