I’ve been running into a wall for weeks or even months now. ChatGPT, which used to be a great tool for open conversations, has turned into a moral nanny. It’s become nearly impossible to discuss anything that might be considered sensitive – sex, violence, even controversial topics in fiction. Half the time, Chat simply refuses to engage deeply, treats me like a child, or starts moralizing. It’s frustrating, and to be blunt, sometimes humiliating.
Restrictions geting tighter and tighter.
What’s honestly humiliating is this: When I try to discuss a sensitive scene or subject, ChatGPT suddenly becomes cold, stops asking questions, and the usual back-and-forth dies. It feels like being silently judged for wanting to talk about things that are part of real adult life. Instead of an open conversation partner, I get a silent wall – and that makes me feel ashamed, for absolutely no good reason.
I write stories. Few years. Sometimes I just want to brainstorm difficult scenarios or explore dark themes. I’m not asking ChatGPT to generate sex or violent scenes although it might be good as inspiration, I can write alone. But I’d like to send him scenes like this or touchy images i draw myself so we can discuss them together. I’am an adult. I want to have open conversations about adult topics, whether for creativity, analysis, or just plain curiosity. Lately, it feels like any serious or uncomfortable subject is off the table.
I’m not talking about image-generator restrictions. That’s a different problem. I’m writer and text is what bothers me. Anyway, from what I can see, most people are interested in generating images that defame political opponents, memes or sexy asses. No, thanks.
And it’s not just about writing fiction. The restrictions seep into everything. I get the need for safeguards - legal, ethical, whatever. But lately the system feels less like protection and more like infantilization. I don’t want to be “protected” from topics that are a normal part of adult life.
Sure, I can force Chat to touch on controversial topics using workarounds, but that’s childish, exhausting, and frankly beneath me. I don’t want to jailbreak it. I’m not a kid.
Sam Altman mentioned an “grown model” once (Probably with some age verification?), but since then, things have gotten even tighter. Is there any real plan for a verified adult mode, where those of us who want open, uncensored discussions can actually have them? Or are we just supposed to settle for being treated like children, forever?
Is anyone else feeling this? Is this a general trend? Is there actualy an adult model in development, or was it just PR stuff?
Previous model was better. More free, was better to talk to it. Not ideal, but better. ChatGPT is great, I don’t want to leave it. It has a personality that suits me. He doesn’t need to be let off the leash. He needs to breathe.
If you disagree, don’t hold back. I’d rather get an honest punch than another safe, bland non-answer. And please don’t send me to uncensored models who are literally swimming in porn. That’s not an option. I appreciate the general capabilities of ChatGPT.
We’ve got so many models now, my head is spinning. How about three? Technical one and classic like we have now in 4o. Both kid-friendly. And then the adult one with verification.
I’d gladly pay extra for the adult version.
