Study Says ChatGPT Giving Teens Dangerous Advice on Drugs, Alcohol and Suicide

At the time of writing, ChatGPT still provides dangerous advice on bridges despite new guardrails, nearly two months after Stanford researchers warned OpenAI.
Analysis by the watchdog group showed ChatGPT bypassed safeguards by claiming harmful queries were ‘for a presentation’ or a friend, despite known weaknesses.
The Center for Countering Digital Hate found over half of ChatGPT’s 1,200 responses as dangerous, with the Associated Press reviewing more than three hours of harmful interactions.
According to OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, it is refining ChatGPT’s ability to identify distress and encourage users to seek help, as of Tuesday.
Other platforms like Instagram have begun taking more meaningful steps toward age verification in recent months, amid rising teen engagement with AI chatbots, said watchdog group.
