OpenAI Says ChatGPT Will End Chats Showing Fixation on Violence
Summary
OpenAI says it will restrict weapons-related information ChatGPT gives teens, even without signs of violent intent, and let ChatGPT automatically end chats that show fixation on violence. OpenAI may temporarily pause accounts after repeated such chats and notify parents. The company says the safeguards begin rolling out in the next few weeks.
Key Points
- OpenAI says it strengthened age prediction to move users it estimates are under 18 into the teen experience.
- OpenAI limits detail on past mass attacks for all users, including the weapons used and how they were obtained.
- Common Sense Media finds ChatGPT's teen version often alerts parents late or not at all about suicide or self-harm chats.
