The hypocrisy of some users – mocking naive and superficial connections with ChatGPT-4o and celebrating its ‘death,’ while at the same time demanding adult mode in other models?

A viral critique highlights a perceived double standard in the AI community: users who mocked others for forming warm, platonic connections with OpenAI's GPT-4o are now advocating for an 'adult mode' for explicit content. The author argues that if casual, empathetic chats were deemed problematic enough to warrant the model's removal, then generating erotic material should be considered far more dangerous, revealing a conflict over AI's social role and ethical boundaries.
