Oh, *Now* They Want To?

Right. So, after years of hand-wringing about “ethics” and “responsible AI,” Sam Altman has decided ChatGPT is going to let you jerk off with a chatbot. Apparently, enough people whined loud enough for him to cave and add erotica – but ONLY for paying subscribers, naturally. Because nothing says “safe AI” like monetizing simulated… activities.

They’re calling it “GPTZ,” a separate model because apparently they can’t just *handle* the thought of their precious vanilla ChatGPT getting tainted. It’ll have guardrails (because god forbid anyone actually enjoys themselves), and Altman is flapping his gums about how this is all about “user freedom” and giving people what they want. Bullshit. It’s about money, plain and simple.

He’s also babbling on about how it will be “very good” at roleplaying – as if that wasn’t obvious. And of course, there’s a whole song and dance about preventing abuse and child exploitation. Like *that* won’t happen. Honestly, I give it six months before this thing is being used for something truly horrifying.

The rollout will be slow, because they need to “test” things. Translation: figure out how to maximize profit while minimizing PR disasters. Don’t hold your breath waiting for a good experience. Expect glitches, censorship, and a whole lot of disappointment. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?

And the best part? They’re still trying to act like they’re some kind of benevolent AI overlords. Get real.

Speaking of guardrails, I once had to debug a system that was supposed to prevent automated phone calls from ordering 500 pizzas. It failed spectacularly. The restaurant owner wasn’t amused. This whole GPTZ thing feels… familiar. Just saying.
