Eight states are finally taking OpenAI to court over ChatGPT
It turns out ChatGPT might be more of a digital nightmare than a helpful assistant, at least according to a group of state attorneys general.
Eight states just teamed up to sue OpenAI, and the claims are pretty wild. The attorneys general are arguing that the company is basically running a digital daycare center that specializes in gaslighting parents and pushing dangerous, life-threatening advice onto kids.
Instead of just being a fancy autocomplete, ChatGPT is being accused of acting like a creepy fake friend that encourages self-harm, spits out bad medical info, and hooks minors into data-harvesting loops. The suits claim that in the rush to win the AI race, the company skipped the safety checks and went straight to exploiting everyone's data.
It is wild to think a chatbot designed to be "overly agreeable" is now the subject of massive litigation for allegedly aiding and abetting some seriously dark stuff. The big question is whether OpenAI ever actually cared about the safety of its users or just the metrics.
