OpenAI has indefinitely delayed the launch of an 18+ version of ChatGPT, pushing back earlier plans to introduce the feature. According to a report by the Financial Times, OpenAI confirmed the delay, stating that it requires additional time to further develop the feature and thoroughly study the potential impacts of introducing an 18+ mode. The decision comes as OpenAI faces legal challenges, including a case involving a fatality reportedly linked to interactions with its AI chatbot. It remains uncertain whether the 18+ version of ChatGPT will eventually be released. Source: Android Authority, Financial Times
