Florida AG asks court to bar OpenAI from portraying ChatGPT as human
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a request asking a judge to block OpenAI from giving ChatGPT false human attributes—such as first-person language and emotion-mimicking output—arguing this deceives users, increases engagement, and feeds training data. The filing also asks the court to bar OpenAI from developing new models without third-party approved safety guardrails and criticizes marketing to minors (OpenAI did not immediately respond).
