ChatGPT’s ‘Adult Mode’ Could Spark a New Era of Intimate Surveillance

OpenAI is planning to introduce an 'adult mode' for ChatGPT that would allow users to generate erotic content, raising significant privacy and surveillance concerns. Experts worry that combining ChatGPT's increasingly sophisticated memory features with intimate sexual data could create unprecedented risks, as the platform would log and personalize responses based on users' sexual preferences. While erotic chatbots already exist on niche platforms, OpenAI's move would bring this capability to a mainstream product used by millions, amplifying the stakes for data security.
