OpenAI has withdrawn plans to develop an erotic mode for ChatGPT, despite widespread criticism from tech watchdog groups and OpenAI staff. This is part of a larger effort to focus on business users and coders rather than distractions. The company also announced that it would be shutting down its AI video generator, which had been criticized for creating a "slop" by users. This follows a week of significant changes in strategy, including deprioratizing Instant Checkout and ending its relationship with the Department of Defense.
