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."

A recent update to the company's policy document states that only sexual content involving minors is prohibited, giving developers significant latitude to create adult-oriented experiences.

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

This move marks a significant reversal for the company, as Altman had previously boasted about not including sexbot avatars in ChatGPT, despite acknowledging it would increase engagement.

Adult content has always been a substantial online sector, but mainstream tech companies have typically kept it at arm's length.
