Mark Cuban, a parent of 3, says ChatGPT’s new age restrictions for erotica could go really wrong

“This is going to backfire. Hard. No parent is going to trust that their kids can’t get through your age gating,” Mark Cuban said of OpenAI’s planned age restrictions for ChatGPT.

Sam Altman says OpenAI will be rolling out age-gated “erotica” to its adult users on ChatGPT.
“Shark Tank” star Mark Cuban says the planned age restrictions will do little to protect kids.
“No parent is going to trust that their kids can’t get through your age gating,” Cuban said.

Mark Cuban says OpenAI’s venture into erotica for adults is a bad idea.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in an X post on Tuesday that the company will allow “erotica” to appear on its ChatGPT platform for verified adults in December. Altman said OpenAI will also roll out “age-gating more fully” alongside this change.

Cuban said in an X post on Tuesday that OpenAI’s planned age restrictions will do little to shield young children from the adult content that will be introduced on its platforms.

“This is going to backfire. Hard. No parent is going to trust that their kids can’t get through your age gating. They will just push their kids to every other LLM,” Cuban wrote.

Cuban added that it would not be difficult for kids to access “erotica” on ChatGPT anyway. The “Shark Tank” star has three children with his wife, Tiffany Stewart: two daughters, Alexis, born 2003, and Alyssa, born 2006, and one son, Jake, born 2010.

“Why take the risk? A few seniors in HS are 18 and decide it would be fun to show the hard core erotica they created to the 14 yr olds. What could go wrong?” Cuban wrote in his post.

Representatives for Cuban and OpenAI did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.

Under OpenAI’s terms of use, users must be “at least 13 years old or the minimum age required in your country to consent to use” their services. Users under 18 must get their “parent or legal guardian’s permission” to use OpenAI’s products, the company added.

OpenAI’s turn toward adult content comes amid similar moves from its competitors. OpenAI cofounder Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, released several AI companions in July, including Ani, a lingerie-wearing Japanese anime girl.

xAI released an AI image and video generator named Grok Imagine in the same month. Unlike other AI image and video generators made by OpenAI and Google, Grok Imagine had a “spicy” mode that allowed users to generate photorealistic NSFW images.

OpenAI’s Altman was initially hesitant about introducing adult content to the company’s platforms. Altman told content creator Cleo Abram in a YouTube video that aired in August that OpenAI hasn’t “put a sex-bot avatar in ChatGPT yet” because it didn’t align with the company’s values.

“I’m proud of the company and how little we get distracted by that. But sometimes we do get tempted,” Altman told Abram.
