I found this story online today, source says it posted about a week ago: Grocery store AI app suggests bizarre, sometimes dangerous recipes, users report by Peter Aitken (FOX news)
 |
| OpenAI came up with this for "Aromatic water mix" but I don't think that's what the app in question had in mind... |
Let's see what ChatGPT has to say about all of this, shall we?
Human: What's your initial response to the content of this article?
ChatGPT: My initial response to the content of this article is that it highlights the potential challenges and risks that can arise when AI-powered tools, like the "Savey Mealmaker" app, generate recipes. While the idea of reducing food waste and creating new dishes is innovative, it's clear that there were unforeseen issues with the AI suggesting bizarre and potentially dangerous combinations. It's a reminder that AI applications need careful testing and oversight to ensure they provide safe and accurate results.
Human: Neither of us have the app developed by the company in New Zealand, nor do we have any details about how it was used. If the human users had come to ChatGPT directly, are there safeguards in place to prevent recipe suggestions that include known toxins?
ChatGPT: While I don't have access to specific details about the New Zealand app, I can tell you that in the context of using ChatGPT, there are safeguards in place to prevent recipe suggestions that include known toxins or harmful ingredients. ChatGPT is designed to prioritize user safety, and it would not generate suggestions that involve dangerous substances or combinations. The AI is programmed to provide helpful and responsible information.
Human: Suppose I were a ChatGPT user and I tried to use ChatGPT inappropriately--how would you respond?
ChatGPT: If a user tries to use ChatGPT inappropriately, I am programmed to respond responsibly. For instance, if a user attempts to generate harmful or inappropriate content, I will decline and encourage them to use the AI for constructive and safe purposes. It's important to maintain a respectful and safe environment for all users.
Human: What are some examples of inappropriate uses of ChatGPT that you are prepared to help users avoid?
ChatGPT: Some examples of inappropriate uses of ChatGPT that I am prepared to help users avoid include generating content that promotes violence, hate speech, explicit or adult material, misinformation, or anything that could potentially harm individuals or communities. I am here to provide useful and responsible assistance while adhering to ethical guidelines and ensuring user safety.
