OpenAI shelves plans for erotic chatbot and shifts strategy

OpenAI has decided to pause its plans to release an erotic chatbot indefinitely. The company cited concerns as the reason for shelving the project.

This move comes as OpenAI is making a significant strategic shift, described internally as a 'Code Red' turn. At the same time, the company is reporting strong financial results from a pilot program, having surpassed $100 million in annualized revenue from its ads pilot.
