OpenAI boss Sam Altman said ChatGPT will soon be allowed to engage in erotic chats with adults — despite continuing concerns over child safety and the tech mogul’s recent boast that the artificial intelligence giant had not created a “sex bot”.
Altman announced on Tuesday that OpenAI plans to “safely relax the restrictions” on hot and heavy conversations with ChatGPT now that engineers have built new safeguards around mental health content.
