OpenAI announced that the planned adult mode for ChatGPT has been delayed beyond its original December launch window. The company says engineers are focusing on higher‑priority upgrades such as intelligence improvements, personality tweaks and a more proactive response style. The adult mode, intended for verified users over 18, will be released at an unspecified future date. The delay comes as OpenAI faces criticism over a new contract with the U.S. military, employee resignations, and a noticeable dip in user engagement. Ler mais

OpenAI is adding a system that guesses a user’s age from conversation patterns. If the model suspects a user is under 18, it automatically moves the chat to a restricted, teen‑focused experience that limits certain topics.

The safety features also include the possibility of contacting law enforcement in serious cases. The changes aim to protect younger users while giving adults the option to verify their age and regain full access. Ler mais
