OpenAI's Adult Mode feature for ChatGPT is reportedly facing another hurdle. As per the report, the feature, which will let users have explicit conversations of a sexual nature with the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, is being put on hold indefinitely. The decision was reportedly made after several staff members and investors raised concerns about the feature and questioned whether the small upside was worth the ethical debate it would stir. Notably, the feature was already delayed twice in the past.
