Sensitive content in ChatGPT

The help article is Reduce sensitive content in ChatGPT. OpenAI discussed a future “adult mode” for verified adults and then delayed it. As of this note, the shipped control is the one that tightens replies, not a mode that asks for explicit chat.

What the setting does

• Teen accounts: Reduce sensitive content is on, and the teen cannot turn it off while teen protections apply
• A parent linked through parental controls may manage it for that teen account
• When an account is treated as 18 or older, the setting turns off. The adult can turn it back on
• If ChatGPT predicts the account holder is under 18, the teen experience can return even after a birthday was entered. An adult can use age verification to ask for that prediction to be lifted
• Education workspaces can force the safeguard. Members cannot override an admin

Where to change it

Open Settings, select Safety, then turn Reduce sensitive content on or off, if your account is allowed to. Turning it off does not create an adult mode. Requests that involve minors, or that the product still refuses, stay refused.
