Six months after admitting that ChatGPT 4o was a little too enthusiastic with its relentless praise for users, Sam Altman is bringing sexy back. The OpenAI boss says a new version of ChatGPT "that behaves more like what people liked about 4o" is coming in a few weeks, and it'll get even better—or potentially much worse, depending on how you feeling about the idea—in December with the introduction of AI-powered "erotica."
"We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues," Altman wrote on X. "We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases."
