OpenAI puts erotic chatbot plans on hold ‘indefinitely’
OpenAI halted its adult-themed ChatGPT and discontinued Sora due to safety, ethical, and commercial concerns, with a 10% age-verification error rate cited by the Financial Times.

- Recent lawsuits involving ChatGPT and youth safety coincided with technical challenges, as the model showed an error rate over 10 percent in distinguishing adults from minors.
- Dropping 'side quests' like the video generator Sora, the company is refocusing on core productivity tools, including coding assistants.
- CEO Sam Altman declared a 'code red' previously, prioritizing core business as competitors like Google and Anthropic close in on the company's lead.
