ChatGPT’s Seismic Blunder: Leading Users to Scams Instead of Reliable News
OpenAI’s ChatGPT was designed to browse the internet for current info but often directs users to scam sites like County Local News. This AI-generated slop farm bombards visitors with fake software updates and virus warnings, proving that trusting ChatGPT’s citations can be more hazardous than helpful.
Hot Take:
ChatGPT’s internet browsing feature is like sending your grandma to the dark web to fetch you the latest news – you might get a recipe for cookies, but you’ll probably end up with a virus.
Key Points:
- ChatGPT’s new browsing capability often directs users to dubious sources.
- One such source, County Local News, leads to malicious popups and fake updates.
- Malvertising is a growing concern, with criminals leveraging legitimate ad networks.
- Experts warn that malicious notifications can trick users into downloading unwanted programs.
- OpenAI promises to address citation issues in the future, but problems persist.
