OpenAI's chatbot store is filling up with spam

OpenAI's chatbot store is filling up with spam

OpenAI's GPT Store, a marketplace for custom chatbots powered by OpenAI's AI models, is facing issues with moderation and quality control. The store features bizarre GPTs that potentially infringe on copyright, promote academic dishonesty, and impersonate people or organizations without consent. Developers can easily create these GPTs using OpenAI's GPT Builder tool, leading to a flood of low-quality offerings. OpenAI claims to use automated systems, human review, and user reports to identify violations, but the numerous problematic GPTs indicate shortcomings in their moderation efforts. The situation raises concerns about copyright infringement, academic integrity, and the misleading use of AI-generated content.

OpenAI helps spammers plaster 80,000 sites with messages that bypassed filters

Spammers exploited OpenAI's GPT model to send personalized spam messages to over 80,000 websites, evading spam filters by making each message unique. Known as AkiraBot, this operation ran for four months undetected, utilizing OpenAI's GPT-4 model to craft messages that promoted dubious SEO services. While OpenAI revoked the spammers' access post-disclosure, the incident highlights the challenges of using AI responsibly, as well as the reactive nature of enforcement against such abuses.

OpenAI's GPT Store is being flooded by AI girlfriend bots despite explicit rules that prohibit them

OpenAI's newly launched GPT Store is experiencing moderation problems as it is being flooded with AI girlfriend bots, despite explicit rules against them. The marketplace, announced two months ago, allows users to post custom-made "GPTs" built with OpenAI's technology. However, searching for "girlfriend" on the platform brings up at least eight romantic AI chatbots, such as "Korean Girlfriend" and "Virtual Sweetheart." OpenAI's usage policy explicitly prohibits GPTs dedicated to romantic companionship, but these policies seem to be failing to prevent their presence on the platform.
