OpenAI puts erotic chatbot plans on hold ‘indefinitely’
OpenAI halted its adult chatbot due to investor and staff concerns over societal harms, technical challenges, and legal risks, focusing instead on productivity and enterprise tools.
- OpenAI has indefinitely paused plans to release an adult-oriented chatbot, reportedly called 'Citron mode,' according to a report from The Financial Times.
- Investors and staff raised concerns that an erotica-generating model conflicts with the company's mission to ensure artificial intelligence benefits humanity, leading to the project's cancellation.
- 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.
