OpenAI abandons yet another side quest: ChatGPT’s erotic mode

What Happened

It's only the latest of several side projects that the AI startup has ditched over the past week.

Our Take

Look, OpenAI's graveyard is getting full. They shipped a feature, realized it was a PR disaster, killed it quietly. This isn't about the feature itself—it's that they keep announcing stuff they won't actually commit to shipping. ChatGPT's been getting features at random for months, half of which disappear. At some point, shipping discipline matters more than headlines.

The real problem? They're optimizing for news cycles, not for what users actually need. Every abandoned side quest says 'we didn't think this through' louder than any press release.

What To Do

Stop announcing features you won't live with.
