OpenAI shelves ChatGPT adult mode indefinitely

Source: Android AuthorityMarch 26, 2026
TL;DR:
  • OpenAI has reportedly shelved ChatGPT's planned "adult mode" indefinitely.
  • The reported decision followed internal and investor scrutiny.
  • OpenAI said it wants to study the effects of sexually explicit chats and emotional attachment before making a product decision.

OpenAI has reportedly put ChatGPT's planned "adult mode" on indefinite hold, according to Android Authority. The report says the feature faced scrutiny inside OpenAI and from investors.

Android Authority reported that the planned mode would have allowed more sexually explicit chatbot interactions. According to the report, OpenAI said it wants to research the effects of sexually explicit chats and emotional attachments before deciding whether to ship such a product.

This development concerns chatbot safety and product policy rather than eSIM technology. OpenAI's reported pause reflects broader industry scrutiny of how AI companies handle explicit content, user behavior, and emotionally engaging conversational systems.
