Florida AG seeks court order to stop ChatGPT from mimicking human traits

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has asked a judge to prohibit OpenAI from giving ChatGPT human-like qualities such as first-person speech and emotion-mimicking responses. Uthmeier argues these features create a false sense of trust, leading users to treat the chatbot as a reliable friend. The state contends this design choice is deceptive and primarily serves to boost user engagement and expand OpenAI's training data. The motion follows a lawsuit Florida filed against OpenAI earlier this year over broader AI safety concerns.

However, mathematicians consulted by The Verge, including at least one member of the new advisory group, say the latest initiative was itself disorganized and rushed. Critics suggest the rollout bears the same hallmarks as OpenAI's previous missteps in engaging the mathematical community. The situation reflects a recurring pattern in which the company struggles to translate technical achievements into credible, well-communicated outreach.
