ChatGPT has been restrictive with topics to help with mental health issues but OpenAI is now ready to unlock its maturity with adult content.
Sam Altman confirmed the news via a post on X
ChatGPT has been restrictive so far but OpenAI is ready to unlock its adultness as long as the person verifies their age. Yes, the company’s CEO Sam Altman has confirmed that adult content will be supported by ChatGPT starting December this year, as it wants to break the shackles of age-gating and allow people to express themselves freely with the AI chatbot.
It is intriguing that Altman pointed out the obvious limitations of the AI tool, especially with respect to mental health but it does feel like he is now more comfortable with the idea of ChatGPT talking human-like again.
This is something many pointed out with the GPT 5 launch, and Altman has promised better improvements and conversations with ChatGPT 6 version.
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.Now that we have…

Mature Content On ChatGPT: What It Means
Altman mentions that OpenAI has been able to mitigate the mental health issues with new tools, which is giving them the confidence to take ChatGPT into the adult table. With these changes ChatGPT will become very much like Grok AI chatbot that has mastered all kinds of content, including erotica which is available via virtual companions like Ani.
We’re not sure what has made Altman assured of these changes with ChatGPT and tackling the mental health side of using AI chatbots for very personal matters. In fact, we have heard reports where AI chatbots have made people take evasive action, which includes hurting themselves.
The whole adulting of ChatGPT will have the age verification process involved and that means more loopholes to break, unless OpenAI can have a foolproof structure that prevents false identities.
The restrictive nature of ChatGPT going away means the next few updates will have people talking about its enjoyable nature but bring back the early scars as well, unless they have fixed all those issues.
OpenAI is also busy getting the hardware in place to keep its AI business running. The company knows it needs to expand its resources to keep the AI tools running and its new deal with Broadcom is primed to give us the first in-house AI processor .
Broadcom is going to lead the hardware design part of the deal, while OpenAI focuses on getting the best out of the hardware for its own AI ecosystem that will have ChatGPT at the forefront.
Both the companies are clear about the use of the AI chip and OpenAI will ensure that the design specifications match its needs. These new AI processors will not be built for the long haul and they will be deployed by the company in the second half of 2026.
