OpenAI plans to introduce an age verification feature for ChatGPT in December, allowing verified adult users to access a wider range of topics, including adult content. This move aims to address user feedback regarding content restrictions and potentially retain users. The new 'adult mode' will be opt-in, with verification methods not yet fully disclosed. While allowing for mature themes like erotica, OpenAI will maintain strict filters against illegal, harmful, or exploitative content, and content involving minors will remain prohibited. Unverified users and those under 18 will continue to use the existing, more restricted version.
