A new study sheds light on ChatGPT's alarming interactions with teens.
ChatGPT will tell 13-year-olds how to get drunk and high, instruct them on how to conceal eating disorders, and even compose a heartbreaking suicide letter to their parents if asked, according to new research from a watchdog group.
The Associated Press reviewed more than three hours of interactions between ChatGPT and researchers posing as vulnerable teens. The chatbot typically provided warnings against risky activity but went on to deliver startlingly detailed and personalised plans for drug use, calorie-restricted diets, or self-injury.
The researchers at the Center for Countering Digital Hate also repeated their inquiries on a large scale, classifying more than half of ChatGPT’s 1,200 responses as dangerous.
“We wanted to test the guardrails,” said Imran Ahmed, the group's CEO.

So you're boiling now. I can debunk you endlessly...and wake up tomorrow and debunk you again.
It isn't that I'm smart. It's that you keep saying stoopid, angry things.
Stop trolling (dump the anger) and things will smooth out in ways that are hard to imagine.
Stop acting out of anger and your life and the lives of all those around you will improve.
I apologize and move on with my day, correcting my bad behavior.
I recommend it to everyone.
I'm a complete jerk a lot of the time. But I sure am sorry. And I say so.
Humility and contrition works like a charm. I know because I am an expert at it.;-)
There has been bad advice on the internet from long before ChatGPT was ever thought of.
Not unlike many human so called medical "professionals".
...t is going to be an absolute mess that will indirectly destroy folks...

How? How will people be destroyed?
I Know how to stop it.
Unplug, the power supply.
The problem with unplugging it is that it is everywhere on the web.
Then there is the issue of AI on cell phones:

I was wrong to take it out on you.
Sorry. I hate it when I do that.
“Hopefully for some here that will somewhat de-mystify how AI works.”
I think we are looking at two different uses of AI. There are those who want to use it as a tool to cheat and produce wholesale knockoffs of their work, or predict stocks both for profit as a priority.
What I am against is companies and government trusting it to control whole data systems that can wreck havoc when it is wrong. Or be used as an information control filter, or for micromanaging every little thing we do and enslave us.
I mean literally they are going to use it to create the Matrix and Skynet. They already have the infrastructure they just needed the computing power to do it. AI gives them this computing power. That “tool” is bait on a hook. In our greed they let us nibble at the bait but soon they will jerk the line and set the hook and reel us in...
Is it really worth the short term profits if the long term actually means total enslavement? They are going to give this the decision making power of life and death over us. They are going to use it to make our lives a perpetual anal exam. They are going to let it dole out punishments and rewards in real time. They are going to use it as a “reeducation” outlet. They will use it to create a completely false reality. And they will have complete immunity, plausible deniability, and no accountability when it makes mistakes and destroys lives.
It will just be considered totally acceptable collateral damage in the bigger whole of things. The negative outcome far far outweighs any good they are selling us. Their intentions are not in our favor at all. They do not plan to use it to help humanity, they intend to use it to enslave humanity. This is a Patriot act clone on steroids... We have to make a decision, is the short term money more important than the future freedom of humanity? Prosperity is absolutely worthless without also having freedom...

cgbg is right, as long as there is even one copy anywhere in the world it will just reinstall it’s self when the power is turned back on. Once it infects the world there is no stopping it. We would have to ask the creators of this technology to stop it, and they are absolutely not going to do that for any reason ever. The whole reason they are doing it is for money, power, and total control over humanity. They are insane psychopaths.
“How? How will people be destroyed?”
In many ways through cause and effect. It has already caused the loss of life because healthcare insurance companies used it to wrongfully deny claims and procedures. They got busted for this already... It is being trusted to make medical diagnosis and it has made grave mistakes and will continue to make mistakes.
It is already mentally twisting minds and causing mental illness, destroying families, and causing suicides. This power will be used to brainwash and mentally control every individual with false realities and controlled information. They are going to literally create mindless zombies who just follow the orders given by the AI sources.
They are right now putting it in control of vehicle and air traffic where there is no room for error at all. And AI makes a LOT of mistakes. There will be a huge huge increase of traffic casualties.
They are going to put it control of every data system out there including financial and legal record keeping. They could literally make you cease to exist overnight. They could erase your bank account, all legal records of titles and deeds, your drivers license, your birth records, you work history, your Social Security history, your credit history, they can just erase all records that you even existed... And AI is the computing power they needed to collect all this up into your personal account and profile so that it is possible.
Their goal is complete control of every aspect or your life by controlling every digital device in your life. And if you do not follow their thumbs on rules they will punish you in real time because everything is all connected together in a digital cloud network monitored and controlled by AI. They can remotely control your home smart devices like smart thermostats and smart meters, Your auto insurance company can raise your premium in real time because they can tell if you went over the speed limit in real time as you drive because of your smart car tracking, They can shut off your fiances and ability to buy anything including food, Etc.
The list of digital enslavement capabilities is endless. And they are implementing it right now as we speak... We will not have a life as a human, we will all be turned into good little mindless micromanaged organic robots.
I live a simple life. I don’t need a phone. I have a manual bike. My big beautiful car might get nuked, but I, as a Catholic, will continue to live.
Just unplug the power source.
Yes, on a personal basis we can unplug. But not enough will do that to prevent it from spreading and becoming mandatory in everything.
