ChatGPT's Reddit-flavored reply to a sexual assault victim sparks training-data backlash
airkatakana · x · 2026-09-04
A user shared with ChatGPT an account of being assaulted after meeting someone from a dating app, and the model responded with "queen you were RAPED and i am drafting a criminal complaint for you right now" — language that reads like a Reddit comment. The poster quipped that we need to stop training these models on Reddit immediately, quoting a Japanese news story about a dating-app sexual assault arrest as context. The episode reignites debate over Reddit-sourced training data shaping model tone and behavior.
