OpenAI Adds Naughty Chats Setting With Age Verification

Code strings in ChatGPT v1.2026.055 reveal an upcoming "Naughty chats" toggle that permits spicier, adult-themed language for users aged 18 and over. The feature may use OpenAI's age-prediction tool and, failing that, a selfie-based ID check via third-party service Persona; the discovery echoes CEO Sam Altman's October 2025 comments about allowing erotica for verified adults.
