Due to concerns from employees and investors about the social impact of AI-generated pornographic content, and the company's decision to refocus on its core products, OpenAI has "indefinitely" shelved its adult chatbot project. Previously, the planned release had been delayed, and there were internal discussions about whether to scrap the model altogether due to concerns that it might foster unhealthy emotional dependencies among users and expose minors to inappropriate content. OpenAI confirmed that the model has been shelved and stated that long-term research on the impact of explicit content and emotional dependency is needed before making further decisions. Additionally, OpenAI has decided to abandon its "side projects" and instead integrate productivity tools to create a "super app," while also discontinuing the operation of the Sora video generation model and its social application.
