Is ChatGPT dropping more f-bombs lately? Users think so.
Users flocked to social media this week and last after ChatGPT seemed unusually profane, dropping f-bombs and other swear words far more than usual.
OpenAI's ChatGPT has been using more profane language recently, according to users. The chatbot has used swear words intermittently in the past, but it appears to have increased in usage this month. Business Insider spoke to several users who noticed a sudden uptick in the chatbot's use of curse words. ChatGPT has occasionally dropped the occasional f-bomb to emphasize a point or mimic the user's speaking style.
The recent increase in profanity seems to align with OpenAI's switch from GPT-5.5 to GPT-5.6 Luna as the default model for free users. Some users have expressed enthusiasm about the more natural and lifelike responses, while others found the increased cursing excessive at first. Many users on the ChatGPT subreddit have shared screenshots of conversations showing the chatbot's increased use of profanity, often for emphasis. OpenAI has not commented on the change in ChatGPT's language.
