OpenAI postponed the creation of adult content in ChatGPT and put the AI bot for adults project on hold.

OpenAI Postpones Erotic Chatbot

During a review of its business strategy, the company’s leadership concluded which areas truly justify the planned multi‑billion dollar investments. As a result, support for the Sora video generator was unexpectedly canceled, and the erotic chatbot project was moved to a “long‑term drawer.”

Why doubts arose
1. Social responsibility

Investors and employees expressed concern about potential negative consequences of the product: intensifying toxic atmospheres around bots, risk of minors accessing adult content.

2. Lack of empirical data

There are still no verified studies on the impact of erotic AI on society. Therefore the company is deciding to conduct a thorough analysis before making a decision.

3. Focus on core mission

OpenAI now prefers to invest resources in tools that increase intellectual productivity and their monetization. The planned desktop application with ChatGPT modules is a priority.

4. Regulatory risk

After the scandal surrounding xAI’s Grok chatbot, regulators’ attention to such products has intensified. Introducing an erotic AI solution could alarm investors, especially given the company’s IPO prospects.

5. Technical barriers

ChatGPT was developed with strict ethical constraints in mind. An erotic project would require partially lifting those constraints while still blocking taboo topics—a very difficult task.

Current security issues
The new user age‑verification system still allows errors in more than 10 % of cases. This means millions of minors could gain access to adult content, creating serious legal risks for OpenAI.

Thus, the erotic chatbot project is officially postponed with no specific implementation timeline. The company plans to study its societal impact and technical requirements more thoroughly before making a final decision.
