What changed
OpenAI has begun applying stricter limits to questions about firearms from teen users on ChatGPT. According to the company, the restrictions kick in even when a question looks harmless at first glance.
Why it matters
This is the latest step in OpenAI's teen-safety push. The company recently announced new protections and violence-prevention measures for teens on ChatGPT. The new limits suggest the model can narrow its answers based not only on topic but also on the user's age and the context of the question.
How the limits work
Per the announcement, the filter applies regardless of whether the question seems innocent. So even if a user phrases it indirectly or technically, the same restriction holds for teen accounts. OpenAI did not share details on the full scope of the rule or which age range it covers.
