OpenAI推出了ChatGPT的圣诞老人模式，但该模式仅限13岁及以上用户使用。这一年龄限制与ChatGPT的整体使用条款一致，旨在保护儿童免受潜在的有害或不准确信息的影响。虽然家长可以与孩子一起使用圣诞老人模式，但这似乎让这个本应充满节日乐趣的功能，更多地成为了成年人的噱头。这一限制引发了人们对该技术潜在风险的讨论，以及如何创建真正对儿童安全的版本。

🎅 OpenAI为ChatGPT推出了季节性的圣诞老人模式，用户可以选择圣诞老人的声音进行互动，体验节日的氛围。

🚫 圣诞老人模式以及整个ChatGPT都限制13岁及以上用户使用，这是基于OpenAI的使用条款，要求用户至少年满13岁，或达到所在国家/地区的最低法定年龄。

🛡️ 年龄限制的目的是为了防止该技术可能分享的有害或不准确信息，保护未成年人免受潜在风险。

👪 尽管存在年龄限制，家长仍然可以与孩子一起使用圣诞老人模式，或者技术娴熟的青少年可以在父母的允许下与圣诞老人聊天。

🔧 OpenAI已经训练ChatGPT限制某些成人内容并防止滥用，但真正的挑战将是创建一个真正对儿童安全的圣诞老人模式版本。

ChatGPT's Santa Mode is restricted to age groups that might already be questioning Santa Claus's existence.

The Santa voice is for ages 13 and up according to a disclaimer. OpenAI debuted the seasonal Santa Mode as part of Thursday's livestream, which also announced vision capabilities for ChatGPT. For ChatGPT Plus and Pro users, when using Advanced Voice Mode, they can select Santa's jolly, booming baritone among the voice options to interact with.

But OpenAI has thumbed its nose at the joy of little children everywhere by restricting Santa Mode to teens and adults. How Grinch-y. Jokes aside, there is a reason for this. The 13-and-up age restriction applies to all of ChatGPT, a spokesperson told Mashable. According to OpenAI's terms of use, "You must be at least 13 years old or the minimum age required in your country to consent to use the Services. If you are under 18 you must have your parent or legal guardian’s permission to use the Services."

Some kind of age restriction makes sense for use of a technology that might share harmful or inaccurate information. But it also raises the question of what kind of raunchy adult content Santa Mode could get up to. That said, OpenAI has trained ChatGPT to restrict certain adult content and prevent misuse. But the real trick would have been creating a truly kid-safe version of Santa Mode.

Of course parents can always use Santa Mode with their kids or a tech-savvy pre-teen could get their parent's permission to chat with Santa. But it kind of takes away from the festive fun, knowing that Santa Mode is almost exclusively a gimmick for adults that are already in on the world's greatest conspiracy.

Meanwhile we'll be pushing the limits of Santa Mode to see how "adult" it can be.
