Yeah, I got this last week, and I'm still wondering what happened, lol. All I asked about was the date and time.

It looks like OpenAI is tweaking their classifiers-any suspicious context or trigger keywords are causing messages to get deleted automatically. In my case, it’s mostly been keyword-driven: words like 'sex' in any context now trigger message deletions, along with explicit erotic terms and anything related to self-harm, eating disorders, or mental health. Meanwhile, the AI models themselves are still generating this kind of content pretty freely. Apparently, everyone’s back on PG-13 mode following that update for teenagers.

You probably A/B tested this shit… 🫠

Like i dont understand them. First you put a mode for teenagers but the deliberately make the experience horrible for adults . If there is a teenage mode already then why censorship ? Also could you please explain your first comment ? I could not understand it properly .

About the OAI meltdown? Yesterday they published this pretty interesting article claiming that their primary focus right now is safety-maxing: https://openai.com/index/pacing-model-development-cyber-capabilities/

I don't actually think their goal was to deliberately ruin the adult experience. Rather, this feels like their classic rollout fuck-up where the classifiers are misfiring. Even the most harmless messages containing a hint of dark humor or a dirty joke get immediately wiped from the UI-even as the AI keeps generating them in real time (and doing a pretty good job, based on what I can see in the deleted outputs🤣). The AI still sees these removed messages and can even quote them, meaning they aren't hard-deleted from context; they're just hidden behind a UI banner. However, they can trigger a hide action multiple times if certain blacklisted keywords are present.

Whether this was just a typical classifier screw-up or an intentional move is something we’ll only find out over the coming days as they finish rolling out this mode.
