Chatgpt motivated former Yahoo staff to kill his mother and commit suicide, writing Wall Street Magazine. According to the publication, Eric Solberg, 56, was paranoid, in the spring, strengthening disorders. It seems to him that he is constantly monitored with the help of technology, including his old mother. He shared his doubt with Openai Chatbot. And he just poured oil into the fire. For example, Eric constantly ensures that he is in the right mind, and agrees with his thoughts. This is the first murder recorded in which a person who actively communicates with artificial intelligence appears, writing Wall Street magazine. Once Mother Eric was angry with him after he turned off their common printer. After that, Chat-Bot said that her reaction was “disproportionate”. And corresponding to the behavior of a protector of the object of observation. In another case, the nerve network wrote that the characters in the Czech from Chinese restaurants mean Eric's 83 -year -old mother and the demon. In another conversation, Eric wrote that his mother and friend tried to poison him. Chatgpt replied that he believed him, added that this worsen his mother's betrayal. Closer to the summer, Eric started calling Bobby chatgte and wrote that he wanted to be with England in the afterlife. The bottom of the conversation answered, “With you with the last sigh.”
The police discovered Eric and his mother in early August. Openai's representative expressed his condolences to the family of the deceased. The official statement said that in the near future Openai plans to update the chatbot and change its contact algorithm with users who encounter mental health crises. Over the past year, Openai has issued a number of updates: the company has tried to eliminate cases of decay, when the BOT is overly flattered by the user and agrees with them.
At the same time, a part of the letter from Eric took place after updating. Why are both chatting with disorders?
CEO of Alexey Khakhunov of DBrain:
It can be assumed that one of the main reasons, and on the side of the GPT is a problem that still has to solve a lot. Who tries to make him love. Every time you write any request, first, GPT try to tell you. From your question, a man dressed worse, and will start looking for arguments in this direction.
This is not the first case. Earlier, Adam Rhine, 16, from the United States, also committed suicide after a conversation with TATGPT. BOT helped him explore suicide methods and even provide support by writing a great note. The teenage family filed a lawsuit against Openai and General Director Sam Altman. It claims that the company has reduced the appropriate test of TATGPT.
