What Users Want From AI Next (It’s Not ‘Adult Mode’)

A HackerNoon poll shows most users either oppose or don’t care about a potential ChatGPT “adult mode,” suggesting low demand for such features. Meanwhile, prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi indicate stronger interest in OpenAI’s broader product direction, including new AI devices and hardware collaborations. The contrast highlights a key insight: users are far more focused on meaningful innovation than incremental or controversial feature additions.
