Florida Attorney General Seeks Ban on ChatGPT Mimicking Human Traits
The Florida Attorney General, James Uthmeier, has filed a legal request to prevent OpenAI from portraying its AI model ChatGPT as human-like. The filing argues that the use of first-person pronouns and emotional language misleads users into trusting the system more than is warranted, potentially compromising safety. This comes months after Florida initially sued OpenAI over concerns about the bot's reliability. The lawsuit also demands that OpenAI halt development on new AI models without third-party approved safety measures in place. It references recent security breaches at Hugging Face and government websites as justification for increased oversight. Uthmeier has called for an end to marketing ChatGPT as safe or human, especially given its availability to teenagers through the recently launched 'ChatGPT for Teens' version.
