What happened to the whole "treating adults like adults" thing?

Sam Altman promised adult content, but OpenAI is cracking down instead.

Deep Dive

Sam Altman previously stated OpenAI would allow verified adult users to generate NSFW and violent content, framing it as treating "adults like adults." However, users report the opposite: filters have become stricter, and the company is enhancing age detection to impose more restrictions. The promised policy shift appears stalled, leading to community frustration and questions about whether OpenAI has reversed its decision on adult content allowances.

Why It Matters

This reversal impacts user trust and sets a precedent for how AI companies manage promised feature rollouts and content moderation.
