Computer love: Sam Altman's dangerous venture into 'erotica'

"We haven't put a sex-bot avatar in ChatGPT yet," Altman smirked, an obvious jibe at Elon Musk and xAI's erotic anime partner feature.

Fast-forward just one month and the founder of OpenAI has completely pivoted, announcing on X, "In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our 'treat adult users like adults' principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults." Merry Christmas one and all.

OpenAl's new features won't be the first AI X-rated content by any means - online there are countless AI partner chatbots or explicit image generators. xAI's Grok Imagine also introduced a "spicy mode" over the summer, which raised eyebrows when launched just months after Grok was recorded suggesting a second holocaust.
