Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently shared his views on the company's AI chatbot ChatGPT in an interview. Although ChatGPT has been warmly welcomed worldwide, Altman expressed concerns about users' unconditional trust in it.
In the debut of OpenAI's official podcast, Altman frankly expressed his surprise at the public's high trust in ChatGPT. He pointed out that although ChatGPT has been widely used in many fields such as education, research, and parenting advice, it is not completely reliable. "Artificial intelligence sometimes 'hallucinates' and generates misleading or wrong information." Altman emphasized, "Therefore, this technology should not be trusted unconditionally."
Since its launch, ChatGPT has quickly won the love of users around the world with its excellent language understanding and generation capabilities. However, as its application scope expands, discussions about its accuracy and potential risks have gradually increased. Altman specifically reminded users that they should have critical thinking and awareness of verifying information when using such generative AI tools.
Altman also revealed new features that ChatGPT will soon launch, including a "persistent memory" feature that allows users to save conversation history, as well as a possible advertising model. These changes are designed to enhance user experience and business sustainability, but they also bring new privacy and data security challenges.
Faced with legal and social controversies brought about by the rapid development of AI technology, Altman called on the industry to keep a clear head. "We cannot ignore the current technical limitations of AI." He emphasized, "It is not a perfect solution, but a tool that is still evolving and improving. We need to face up to its shortcomings and work hard to promote its progress."
