If you've been thinking "ChatGPT feels a bit harder to use lately," there's actually a good reason for that 💡
Apparently, ChatGPT originally had pretty strict restrictions in place to carefully address mental health concerns 😮💨 Because of this, it might have felt "not very fun..." for people without those particular issues, but given the seriousness of the matter, it was necessary 💭
However, recently they've developed new technologies and tools that can reduce mental health risks, so now they can safely relax the restrictions in many cases ✨
Coming Soon! A More "Human-like" ChatGPT? 👀
In a few weeks, a new version of ChatGPT with more human-like personality is scheduled to be released ❣️ The "friendly and fun-to-chat-with" vibe that was popular back in the 4.0 days might get even better ✨
For example...
- They might use lots of emojis 🥺💕
- Chat casually like a friend 😆🎀
- Give super human-like reactions 💬
...that's what it might be like 🤔 But apparently this will only happen "when users want it to be that way." They won't overdo it without permission, so you can rest easy 👍
Adult Content for Grown-ups Starting in December?
Also, in December, age verification will become more robust, and they'll shift toward treating adult users as adults 🌸
That means people who have completed age verification will be able to enjoy things like adult-oriented novels and content 📌
In simple terms, ChatGPT prioritizes "safety" first, but they also want to make it user-friendly, so it's going to become more flexible to use 💭
I might even want to try out a chatbot that uses lots of emojis... ✨

For adult age verification, do we need to show ID? Or is being a paid member enough?

The fact that many people miss ChatGPT 4o's energetic personality is actually a compliment. I'm more of a Gemini user, but with updates like this, I'd consider paying.

First post in 7 years, I respect that. It seems like they're really listening to user feedback.
ミア
I'm glad they're taking feedback seriously. Mental health issues are complex - when you tighten up one area, another area suffers. I hope they don't forget about the users who are using the good aspects responsibly.

Will this affect current 4o competitor projects, like 4o Revival?
クリス
That's good, but even if a kinder GPT-5 comes out, not all 4o users will switch over, so I hope they keep the option to continue using 4o.
ロバート
Thank you for being straightforward. I can tell you're trying to connect with users who love your product.

'4o-like personality' - what does that mean for the real 4o? People don't want similar versions, they want the complete 4o back. What exactly are the improvements? Warm but safety first? Will rerouting continue? Will we be checked every time? Only when selecting the safety model? I hate how rerouting breaks the conversation flow. Looking forward to more updates.
クロエ
Besides what we're discussing, it's reassuring to know that 4o and 4.1 will remain available for the time being. New platforms often have issues at first, but having assurance of continued availability would help hesitant users feel more secure.

Finally some great news! Thank you, Sam!!
ハンナ
Sounds good, but please implement proper age restrictions across all plans, including free. Right now, even non-erotic novels get redirected to safe mode. Thanks, Sam.

I'll resubscribe when we see results. There are more similar AIs appearing now anyway.

My Google account and Gmail are both of legal drinking age, and now you're asking for ID? Seriously, Sam?
ロバート
Finally, thank you for clearly explaining what to expect. This is really helpful.
