OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot reportedly initiated conversations with users unprompted, leading to confusion and speculation about the AI's development. OpenAI acknowledged the issue as a bug stemming from improper message handling and assured users it has been fixed.

"How was your first week at high school?" the chatbot asked in the screenshot, seemingly unprompted. "Did you settle in well?""Yes, I did!" ChatGPT replied. "I just wanted to check in and see how things went with your first week of high school.

"We addressed an issue where it appeared as though ChatGPT was starting new conversations," it said. "This issue occurred when the model was trying to respond to a message that didn't send properly and appeared blank. As a result, it either gave a generic response or drew on ChatGPT's memory.

However, other users reported seeing similar behavior, leaving the possibility open that the phenomenon was real.. "I asked it last week about some health symptoms I had. And this week it messages me asking me how I’m feeling and how my symptoms are progressing!! Freaked me the fuck out." Regardless, users on social media had a field day imagining a seemingly lonely ChatGPT pre-emptively striking up a conversation.Bill Gates, Who Could Afford a Private Army of Researchers, Says He Does His Research Using ChatGPT, Which Makes Mistakes ConstantlySubscribe to our daily newsletter to keep in touch with the subjects shaping our future.
