When AI Meets Pornography, Morality Vanishes
OpenAI announced last week that ChatGPT will now allow “erotica” — AI-generated sexual content — for verified adults.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said last week that the company is simply “treating adults like adults.”
But Dr. Albert Mohler, President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, warns: “Technology is never morally neutral. And this one switch could change the moral landscape faster than anyone can imagine.”
“At the beginning of this week, ChatGPT did not offer its platform for artificial intelligence porn — but it does now.”
Mohler argues this is more than a technical update — it’s a moral earthquake. When OpenAI uses phrases like “adult content” or “age-gating,” Mohler says it’s really a moral discount — a way to sanitize sin with euphemisms.
“You call it ‘adult entertainment,’ but it’s actually explicit immorality — a rejection of God’s purpose for human sexuality.”
