#Lift restrictions on fictional writing

I’d like to suggest a change of how ChatGPT handles fictional writing, particularly stories involving violence, evil characters, or dark and edgy ideologies.

I understand the need for safety guardrails for legitimately criminal requests, but the current behaviour often restricts straightforward fictional narration even when the content is clearly not instructional, endorsing harm, or presented as morally good. In fiction, authors frequently explore evil characters, immoral beliefs, and violent actions as part of storytelling, critique, or psychological exploration — not advocacy.

It would be helpful if the system allowed greater freedom for fictional depictions of violence or extreme ideologies as long as the narrative does not frame them as admirable, justified, or “cool.” Exploring darkness, cruelty, or moral failure is a core part of many genres (horror, tragedy, crime, dark fantasy), and restricting explicit narrative language can unintentionally limit legitimate creative writing.

In short: fictional depictions of evil, violence, or disturbing ideas should be allowed when they are clearly presented as fiction and not endorsed by the narrative voice.

Thank you for considering this feedback.

I have been having issues with this since October of 2025. They have been saying they are going to "Treat Adults as Adults" and something was going to come out in December to help with this but nothing has happened. I read somewhere that the reason why the restrictions took place was because someone asked the AI about ways of un-aliving themselves and then something happened. I think it was concerning a child or someone under 18. I have sent numerous Support Emails and asking them to be escalated in status to a Real Person. All I get is placating answers. Like they are just trying to pacify me.

Then when I put in a second suggestion on here about it. I was told but some jerk that, "ChatGPT was not meant for creative writing. Its only for friendship." (more or less) and I corrected them on that.

I used the AI to help me with storylines, my creative writing and song prompts for Suno, to help me get that certain sound. Anything that I write that comes out Violent or Risqué in ANY way.. I get shot down and I am sick of it.

there's evidence that "naughty chats" will debut soon - google it

#

maybe thats the thing - i don't care about naughty chat per se but a mode with less guardrails would be great
