OpenAI said on Friday that it is postponing ChatGPT's 'adult mode' again as it focuses on personalization and other priorities.
.
The company had promised to allow erotica and other content if a system could be put in place to verify users are adults. This feature has been delayed for the second time, first announced by Sam Altman in October last year.
.
In December, the company said it would push back the launch to the first quarter of this year while working on improving its age estimation system.

An OpenAI spokesperson told Axios in a statement: "We are currently postponing the launch of adult mode so that we can focus on tasks with higher priority for more users. This includes intelligence improvements, personality enhancements, personalization, and 'making the experience more active'." [The rest of the content is omitted]
