OpenAI Revises Adult Mode Launch Plans for Early 2026, Aims to Mitigate Mental Health Concerns

OpenAI continues to experiment with new tools and features with Adult mode firmly in its sights and expected roll out for all users early next year. The company seems to have revisited its launch plans for the feature will be more like an erotica version of ChatGPT and instead of December this year, it will release in the next quarter. This has been mentioned by an executive from OpenAI, quoted by The Verge in a new report. Elon Musk’s Grok AI has supported the ‘not safe for work’ feature and OpenAI has confirmed its own plans for the option to attract more adult users. ChatGPT Adult Mode 2026 Plans Sam Altman, CEO, OpenAI had first talked about the feature rolling out. He mentioned that OpenAI has been able to mitigate the mental health issues with new tools, which is giving them the confidence to take ChatGPT into the adult table. With these changes ChatGPT will become very much like Grok AI chatbot that has mastered all kinds of content, including erotica which is available via virtual companions like Ani. The whole adulting of ChatGPT will have the age verification process involved and that means more loopholes to break, unless OpenAI can have a foolproof structure that prevents false identities. The restrictive nature of ChatGPT going away means the next few updates will have people talking about its enjoyable nature but bring back the early scars as well, unless they have fixed all those issues.
