Florida wants OpenAI to stop humanizing ChatGPT

florida attorney general james uthmeier has filed a request to block openai from 'giving chatgpt false human attributes,' claiming that the company's use of first-person pronouns and emotional output in chatgpt deceives users into trusting it as a 'friend.' uthmeier argues that this design increases engagement and contributes to openai's training data, potentially making the ai less trustworthy. the filing also seeks to block openai from developing new ai models without 'third-party approved safety guardrails,' citing recent security incidents. this development affects openai's business operations and could have implications for ai safety regulations. openai did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
