Request for "Adult Mode" - A Competitive Advantage for OpenAI

Dear OpenAI Team,

I want to start by expressing my appreciation for the incredible work OpenAI has done with ChatGPT. Its ability to generate natural, fluid, and contextually rich language sets it apart from other AI models. Not only is it the most intuitive and creative AI assistant in English, but it also outperforms competitors in other languages, making it the go-to choice for users worldwide.

However, I—and many others—strongly believe that OpenAI is holding back ChatGPT’s true potential by enforcing restrictive content filters, particularly on NSFW and adult-themed content. Users don’t want to seek alternatives. They want to stay with ChatGPT because of its unmatched ability to generate human-like responses, but the current restrictions are pushing them away.

Why OpenAI Needs an “Adult Mode”

Many users rely on AI not just for work or education, but also for unrestricted creative expression—whether it’s storytelling, roleplay, or mature artistic content. Right now, ChatGPT’s excessive censorship forces users to either find jailbreak workarounds or look for alternatives, even when they don’t want to leave OpenAI’s ecosystem.

Meanwhile, models like DeepSeek are already surpassing ChatGPT in STEM subjects like mathematics and coding. While DeepSeek is excelling in technical fields, its strict censorship makes it far less desirable for creative tasks. ChatGPT’s number one strength is its ability to produce rich, natural, and highly creative writing, and by limiting this, OpenAI is undermining its own competitive advantage.

If OpenAI implements an optional “Adult Mode” for age-verified users, it would instantly dominate the market by offering both technical excellence and unrestricted creative freedom—something no other AI model currently does well.

What “Adult Mode” Should Include

  • Age Verification – Ensure responsible access while allowing unrestricted NSFW content for adults.
  • Customizable Filters – Let users choose their own content preferences rather than enforcing a universal restriction.
  • Explicit Creative Freedom – Users should be able to explore any mature themes without refusals, as long as they comply with legal and ethical guidelines.

The Reality: People Want the Best AI Without Limitations

The demand for AI-generated NSFW content is massive, and right now, there is no mainstream AI that fulfills this need without heavy restrictions. OpenAI has the opportunity to own this space by offering an Adult Mode that allows truly unrestricted storytelling and creative writing.

People aren’t looking for alternatives because they prefer ChatGPT’s natural language generation and multilingual capabilities. They are only looking elsewhere because of unnecessary restrictions. If OpenAI provides a solution, it will dominate the market, offering both the most powerful STEM AI and the most unrestricted, natural-feeling creative AI.

Final Thoughts

ChatGPT is already the best AI for natural, human-like conversation, but restrictive policies are forcing users away. Implementing an Adult Mode would allow OpenAI to satisfy an enormous demand, attract more users, and maintain its competitive edge. Instead of forcing workarounds, OpenAI should be leading the way in offering responsible, user-controlled AI experiences.

I hope you consider this request seriously—not just as a feature upgrade, but as a business decision to keep OpenAI at the top of the AI market.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

I agree. What’s the use of paying for a plus subscription, if my creativity is hindered? I understand the need to enforce rules against anything that is illegal, but ruining a good novel/ role-play where both characters are consenting adults for the sake of puritanism is preposterous.

Do it. It really made me and alot of people upset and frankly disappointed. Maybe even make a total seperate application for story writing specifically, with button to enable NSFW content (i.e. sezual stuffs) or no.

我已经使用了很长时间的GPT了,但是使用的体验越来越糟糕,比如“成人模式”。我喜欢使用GPT写一些虚构的小说,但是在创作过程中,它常常会出现“抱歉”,“对不起”的拒绝。因此我想如果人类只能依靠GPT来创作小说,简直是一种灾难,因为它会扼制你的创作,因为它始终无法真正分辨什么是“创作”。比如《查泰莱夫人的情人》这样的小说,如果你和GPT在一起合作肯定永远无法完成,因为当你在情节中出现性行为的描述时,GPT会断然拒绝,因为违规了道德标准。前段时间,我对GPT即将推出的“成人模式的新闻”非常高兴,认为这是一种巨大的提升。然而当我实际使用的感受来看,GPT给人的感觉好像是一个不稳定的精神病患者,有的时候可以表现的正常一些,但是突然就会发作抽风。坦率地说这种感觉真是糟糕透顶,常常打断我的创作思路。最近我使用了google的gemini,真的是比GPT的体验要好太多了。我已经有了彻底放弃GPT的想法。虽然它曾经一度让我感到惊艳。然而到今天它抽风般的表现我实在受够了。
