OpenAI Delays ChatGPT 'Adult Mode' Amid Internal Concerns Over Risks

OpenAI plans to introduce an 'adult mode' in ChatGPT allowing sexually explicit conversations, aiming to treat adult users with fewer restrictions. This proposal has sparked strong internal opposition from its advisory council, which raised concerns about mental health risks, emotional dependence, and potential minor access due to flaws in age verification. OpenAI has delayed the feature's launch to address these issues but maintains its intention to implement it in the future.
