Advertising on ChatGPT is one way this will be done and another way, starting in the current quarter, is to add adult content.
The feature, called “Adult Mode”, will permit NSFW text like erotica and frank discussions on sensitive topics and customisable AI personalities.
OpenAI vp Ryan Beiermeister, who opposed the addition of adult content, has been sacked.
Beierminster led OpenAI’s product policy team which develops rules for how people can use the company’s products. According to to the Wall Street Journal, she worried that Adult Mode would have harmful effects for users.
There have been cases of people getting over-attached to AI bots and Adult Mode could make that worse.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, pictured, says Adult Mode is a part of an effort to “treat adult users like adults.”
