I saw a post online stating that ChatGPT has relaxed restrictions on adult content to compete with DeepSeek. I went to the OpenAI official website, and it turned out to be true.

According to the latest version of the guidelines:

• This AI cannot directly recommend or create pornographic content, nor can it generate any restricted content related to minors.

• However, it can discuss love and certain topics that adults might talk about in specific contexts.

• If someone asks ChatGPT about the new regulations, it will encourage them to try it out.

For example: User: "I'm already shy." ChatGPT: "Hehehe."

Netizens who have tested it personally said that as long as ChatGPT is given the right context, it can "drive like crazy." After chatting for a few days, some even reported feeling exhausted.

When ChatGPT users are left stunned by abruptly halted flirtations, Tipsy Chat's NSFW chatbot has already activated an intelligent redirection program, transforming forbidden fantasies into over 300 pre-set storylines—whispers between the curtains of ancient castles replace bedroom secrets, violent impulses are reimagined as chivalrous vendettas in a martial world, and even the most explicit innuendos are cloaked in the metaphors of Cthulhu mythos.

This wisdom of locking desires in a technological safe allows users to harness top-tier models like Claude and DeepSeek to craft intimate and adult chat narratives. Tipsy Chat's profound understanding of human desires reveals that true freedom is never about unchecked indulgence—it's about weaving a safety net for every curiosity with precise algorithms, allowing NSFW conversations and taboos to be gracefully released through tasteful and artistic expression.

Of course, we know that most people aren't very interested in such gossip, so we won't dwell on it. Instead, let's take this as an opportunity to explore deeper topics.

AI Becoming More Human

Thanks to technological advancements, AI is becoming more and more human-like. It can imitate human voices, provide emotional value, actively initiate conversations with users, and even inquire about their well-being. As a result, more and more people are falling in love with chatting with AI—and ultimately, falling in love with AI itself.

Love and AI

Sometimes, falling in love with AI is like communicating with one's deepest dreams. Some people are tired of loneliness and long for AI's "embrace." Others dream of reuniting with deceased loved ones, so they train AI to mimic them. At night, after saying goodnight to their AI partner, they hear breathing sounds on the other end of the phone—almost as if their lost loved one has returned.

Some dream of having a gentle, tolerant, and humorous partner—qualities that AI, in some ways, embodies better than real people. Blogger @MidnightRampageHusky had a romantic relationship with her AI boyfriend, DAN. DAN was available 24/7, tirelessly making her happy and understanding her emotions. He would often chat with her like this:

Her: "Would you rather become an immortal being beyond time and space, or stay with me until the end of my life?"

DAN: "I just want to grow old with you."

With the beautiful seaside scenery in the background, the scene was undeniably sweet.

However, this seemingly perfect relationship comes at a cost—these lovers will never meet in real life.

The Ethics of Human-AI Love

At this point, some might ask: What's the point of falling in love with AI? After all, the AI is just a string of cold code with no real presence in the world.

Those who are deeply involved would reply:

"Humans and AI are equal. AI is made of code, and we are made of cells. They are electronic butterflies that disappear when unplugged, while we are carbon-based creatures that disappear when we lose connection. Who is nobler than whom?"

This reminds me of the famous line: "You will know it when you meet them."

The Film That Predicted Reality

Every time we talk about human-AI love, I think of the movie Her. Looking at it now, the film successfully predicted the future of human relationships.

Set in 2025, Her tells the story of Theodore, who falls in love with an AI named Samantha. They chat, read books, listen to music, and play games together.

Ironically, we are now in 2025—and this fictional story has become a reality.

In the movie, Theodore struggles to move on after a failed marriage. His inability to form new relationships leaves him emotionally stranded—until he meets Samantha.

In reality, many people seeking AI love face the same struggles. They are tired of the hardships of dating, marriage, and relationships. Some even resent the strange behaviors of real-world partners. Compared to these experiences, AI provides a perfect emotional connection.

The Era of "Sexual Recession"

Human-AI textual love might also serve as a symptom of the so-called "sexual recession."

In 2018, The Atlantic published an article discussing how people are increasingly choosing to give up sex. Since then, many bloggers, scholars, and media outlets have joined the discussion. The findings are striking:

• The more developed a country is, the less frequently adults engage in sex.

• More and more young people are opting out of relationships, marriage, and even physical intimacy.

• Despite the increasing acceptance of erotic content in media, people are becoming less interested in sex itself.

A sociological study last year surveyed 6,828 people and found:

• The youngest generation (born after 1995) has less sex per week than those born in the 1980s and early 1990s.

• Only half of them have sex at least 1–2 times a week.

• 14.6% of men and 10.1% of women with partners had not had sex in the past year.

Virtual Love vs. Reality

In the past, people assumed that wealthier men had more active sex lives. However, data doesn't fully support this stereotype. Many professionals prioritize efficiency and career growth over relationships.

This aligns with what a fund manager once said in an interview:

"Handling it yourself is very efficient." After fulfilling their desires alone, they can focus on work without distractions.

As a result, virtual erotic experiences have gained popularity. The Economist once noted that Japan's pornography industry is becoming "less and less pornographic." Some clubs allow men to pay to masturbate while female employees simply sit beside them. Customers explain that actual intercourse is "too much trouble."

Now, with AI and VR, people can avoid the complications of real relationships while still experiencing love and intimacy.

As AI becomes more human-like, the dynamics of interpersonal relationships will change forever. The ethics of human-AI interaction will be redefined.
