ChatGPT's adult mode has been 'indefinitely postponed.'

It has been revealed that OpenAI has 'indefinitely postponed' the plans for ChatGPT's adult mode, which had been rumored to be released for some time but had its schedule repeatedly delayed.

OpenAI puts erotic chatbot plans on hold 'indefinitely'

OpenAI filters the content generated by its AI, restricting the output of adult-oriented erotic content. However, in October 2025, CEO Sam Altman announced plans to introduce an 'adult mode' to ChatGPT that would allow output containing erotic content.

However, there was resistance from within the company, and the release date, which was initially scheduled for December 2025, was postponed to the first quarter of 2026, and then further postponed to an undetermined date.

The Financial Times reports that this postponement is an 'indefinite postponement,' meaning the plan is being put on hold.

OpenAI has recently been reported to be working on developing a desktop 'super app' that integrates ChatGPT, the coding app Codex AI, and the AI-powered browser Atlas into a single application in order to compete with Anthropic.

On the other hand, the company has shut down its AI video generation app 'Sora,' which had only been on the market for about six months, leading to speculation that there has been a change in the company's policy.
