In August 2024, the FTC voted unanimously to ban marketers from using fake user reviews created by generative AI chatbots (including ChatGPT) and influencers paying for bots to increase follower counts. ChatGPT has never been publicly available in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau because OpenAI prevented users from these Chinese regions from accessing their site. A 2023 study reported that GPT-4 obtained a better score than 99% of humans on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. Reinforcement learning consisted of human trainers ranking responses generated by the model in previous conversations. In surveys, respondents favored the release of such a tool by a four-to-one margin, but nearly 30% of users declared that they would use ChatGPT less often if it watermarked outputs and while rival chatbots did not. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that users were unable to see the contents of the conversations.<\/p>\n
