OpenAI has changed its mind about releasing an erotic version of ChatGPT
OpenAI has indefinitely abandoned plans to release an AI chatbot for adults due to difficulties in training a large language model.
OpenAI has indefinitely abandoned plans to release an AI chatbot for adults due to difficulties in training a large language model.
Back in the fall of last year, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced plans to introduce more comprehensive age restrictions as part of the «treat adults as adults» principle. He added that this would allow the display of erotic content as early as December 2025. However, the release was later postponed.
As Engadget reports, citing The Financial Times, OpenAI employees and investors are now worried about the development of a chatbot for adults, codenamed Citron mode.
Sources say the company has had difficulty training models that previously avoided erotic content, as well as removing illegal acts such as bestiality and incest. Now, plans to release Citron mode have been postponed indefinitely.
OpenAI said it wants to conduct a long-term study on the impact of sex chats and user engagement with AI, adding that there is not yet enough «empirical evidence» on the issue. The company also said it wants to focus on its core productivity tools, such as coding assistants, and abandon «side projects» like Sora and the sex chatbot.
Recall that OpenAI has decided to close its artificial intelligence-based video generator Sor a — one of the most high-profile products in the text-to-video field. We are talking about the entire ecosystem of the product: the Sora standalone application; API for developers; integration of video generation into other services.
