An interesting thing we noticed last year was that a few accounts which spammed apparent "exploitative" language were actually hacked accounts.

An account would post normally for a number of years, and abruptly change it's behavior, and start behaving in an automated fashion.

Apparently, Shakespeare's works might be vulnerable under Florida's new school library censorship bill.

I personally think they have more of a *point* about Bing's stupidity here, than the one who sued ChatGPT (which everyone knows is powered by an algorithm), in how they presented the information.

In my opinion, they should add some kind of disclaimer, at the very least. That would be the ethical thing to do.

I'm not so sure this would be unlawful though.

Because there have apparently been 70 cases of sex trafficking of minors in the U.S., on Facebook's platforms, officials from Florida are shaking their fists at Zuckerberg for being "incompetent".

Don't Facebook's platforms have something like 200 million users? And 2 billion users internationally?

Do you think the FTC should be chasing OpenAI over "inaccurate information" in ChatGPT? It seems like over-reach to me.
