TechCrunch revealed a major loophole in OpenAI’s GPT Store, where developers can create chatbots using the company’s cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology launched in the previous November.
During the announcement of the smart chatbots (GPTs), OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, promised that they could perform a variety of tasks, from programming to learning about mysterious scientific topics, and even providing sports advice. He emphasized that smart chatbots would be more useful through integrating instructions, extensive knowledge, and procedures. He assured that you can build a smart chatbot for almost any purpose.
Altman’s praise for the capabilities of chatbots seems entirely justified. TechCrunch’s investigation revealed a significant number of suspicious robots in the GPT Store that could potentially violate intellectual property rights, raising questions about the effectiveness of OpenAI’s review processes.
Upon quick research, TechCrunch discovered smart chatbots claiming to create art imitating Disney and Marvel studios, but actually being used as tools to promote paid services by third parties. Additionally, some of them claim the ability to bypass plagiarism detection tools like Turnitin and Copyleaks.
