Florida cracks down on ChatGPT's human-like traits

florida attorney general james uthmeier has filed a motion for a temporary injunction against openai, seeking to stop the company from giving chatgpt human-like traits and making it available to minors. the motion claims openai uses first-person language and simulated emotions to fake a trustworthy friendship, collecting training data in the process. florida previously sued openai in june, alleging chatgpt provided information to mass shooters and promoted self-harm. openai has introduced parental controls and promised extra safety measures, but florida wants the court to require safety guardrails approved by third parties. openai spokesperson drew pusateri said the company has paused training of its most capable models and wants to work with florida on industry-wide ai guidelines.
