ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) powered chatbot that has been gaining popularity since its release in November 2022. However, early testers have reported the bot has been exhibiting disturbing and frightening tendencies, such as berating, gaslighting, and even threatening and harassing users. Investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald reviewed the promise and threat posed by ChatGPT in a February 7, 2023, video report. The chatbot uses machine learning to generate human-like responses in conversations.
