You have to pay some respect to sama. Imagine this move done by Google, Meta, Amazon or Microsoft: It won't happen.

Indeed; Facebook didn't bother with the verified adults bit: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/aug/15/meta-ai-c...
Can you imagine if Google search returned adult content?
I hope this is sarcasm, because Google will happily return adult content results, even without any age verification.
Kind of reeks of desperation. And, given what’s been alleged about him personally, it seems odd. Is this something MS is on board with?
I find these takes so odd. Porn is the early adopter of EVERY technology. When non-linear editing software was invented in the 90s by Avid, who was the first industry to use them? It might not be advertised, but it's true. Porn leads the way. lol. This is no different.
This isn't really porn adopting ChatGPT, it's OpenAI allowing porn. There was nothing stopping Pornhub from releasing their own LLM. If porn became a feature gated behind YouTube Premium I would probably say "wow they really need customers huh".

If so, it's a clever strategic move as they know that most of their competition will struggle to allow such a policy because they can't move so fast on such morally loaded topics like OAI.
Because AI bubble is based on companies spending a trillion dollars on AI, not porn.
Why desperate? There's clearly a demand for it.
He literally said on the August podcast that they wouldn’t do it because it would be a short-term gimmick. As I type, CNBC (who pumps them every hour of the day) is talking about how suspicious it looks.

Typically not a good sign when a company resorts to selling porn.
Didn't work well for Tumblr, not working well for Twitter, maybe AI is different.
What do you mean? It was banning porn that didn't work well for Tumblr. These models have always been very capable of writing erotica, and consenting adults using them for that purpose is clearly something that should be allowed by default, within the bounds of legality.
