OpenAI has postponed the release of the erotic feature for adult users of its chatbot ChatGPT until at least the first quarter of 2026. This decision contradicts CEO Sam Altman’s promise made last December to introduce the feature soon. The delay aims to allow more time for addressing potential legal and ethical complexities. ChatGPT is an advanced AI-based chatbot designed to engage in conversations on various topics and assist users. Over recent years, OpenAI has upgraded the technology with new features to make interactions more human-like and useful. However, due to sensitivities and possible risks associated with adult content, the company has chosen to exercise caution in rolling out this feature. This move may disappoint users, especially those known as “goners,” who anticipated adult and personal dialogues via ChatGPT. The postponement means OpenAI will need to further refine the legal, ethical, and technical aspects to ensure a safe and responsible user experience. Despite the delay in launching the adult content feature, OpenAI’s pace of innovation and development in artificial intelligence remains unaffected, as the company continues to enhance AI applications across various fields.
