What OpenAI Announced

On October 14, 2025, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that ChatGPT will soon lower restrictions on content generation, allowing the service to create "erotica" for verified adult users starting in December 2025.

The announcement came roughly one month after OpenAI introduced teen-focused safety features, positioning the erotica allowance as a balance between protecting minors and granting freedom to adults.

The Privacy Implications Nobody's Talking About

What Altman didn't emphasize: accessing ChatGPT's erotica feature requires uploading government-issued ID or submitting biometric facial recognition data to Yoti, a third-party age verification service.

Privacy Warning

Your government ID, legal name, and biometric data will be permanently linked to every intimate conversation you have with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT's Troubling Data Breach History

This privacy concern isn't theoretical. OpenAI has a documented history of security incidents:

  • March 2023: Redis library vulnerability exposed chat history and payment information for 1.2% of ChatGPT Plus subscribers during a 9-hour window.
  • July 2024: ChatGPT macOS app stored conversations in plain text in a non-protected location, bypassing Apple's sandboxing security.
  • 2023 (Unreported): Security researchers breached OpenAI's internal employee forums. The incident was never publicly disclosed or reported to law enforcement.
  • June 2022 - May 2023: Group-IB research uncovered 101,134 stealer-infected devices with saved ChatGPT credentials.

Ollala.ai: The ChatGPT Erotica Alternative That's Already Live

While ChatGPT prepares for a December launch with mandatory identity surveillance, Ollala.ai has been developing and training its privacy-first AI technology since 2024, building a superior platform with complete anonymity.

Ollala: Privacy-First Alternative

  • No ID verification: Simple 18+ checkbox, no government documents
  • Battle-tested technology: Thousands of satisfied users
  • Multi-modal generation: Text + Audio + Images (ChatGPT: text only)
  • Zero data breaches: Perfect security record since launch

What This Means for Users

The ChatGPT erotica announcement represents a fundamental tension in AI development: the desire to provide adult users with unrestricted access versus the legal and ethical obligations of age verification.

OpenAI's chosen path—mandatory identity verification with permanent record-linking—sacrifices user privacy in a domain where anonymity is often paramount.

For users who value both quality and privacy, platforms like Ollala demonstrate that robust age verification and anonymous usage aren't mutually exclusive.
