Here comes another disappointment for ChatGPT users<\/a>. As first reported by Sources<\/em><\/a>‘ Alex Heath, OpenAI is yet again delaying its “adult mode” for ChatGPT. A company spokesperson told Heath that “we’re pushing out the launch of adult mode so we can focus on work that is a higher priority for more users right now.”<\/p>\n

More specifically, OpenAI’s spokesperson said that things like “gains in intelligence, personality improvements, personalization, and making the experience more proactive” were being prioritized instead. However, the company still wants to release an adult mode, but it would “take more time,” according to the company spokesperson.<\/p>\n

The reveal of ChatGPT’s adult mode dates back to October, when OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman<\/a>, posted on X that the company would roll out more age-gating as part of its “treat adults like adults” principle, adding that this would include “erotica for verified adults.” Altman originally said this adult mode would be available in December, but an OpenAI exec<\/a> later said during a December briefing that it would instead debut in the first quarter of 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With Q1 almost coming to a close, we no longer have a timeframe for when ChatGPT’s adult mode will release. However, OpenAI began rolling out its age prediction tool<\/a> in January, which may go hand-in-hand with the upcoming adult mode.<\/p>\n
