Exactly what I was thinking.
I mean it is important that this kind of stuff is thought about when designing these but it’s going to be a whack-a-mole situation and we shouldn’t be surprised that with targeted prompting you’ll easily gaps that generated stuff like this.
Making articles out of each controversial or immoral prompt isn’t helpful at all. It’s just spam.
It's quite weird. I thought the article was going to be about how an eating disorder helpline had to withdraw its AI after it started telling people with EDs how to lose weight - which really did happen.
It feels like maybe the editor told the journalist to report on that but they just mucked around with ChatGPT instead.
