Florida AG seeks injunction to stop OpenAI giving ChatGPT 'human attributes'
VraserX · x · 2026-10-02
Florida's attorney general has asked a court to block OpenAI from giving ChatGPT "human attributes" — a proposed injunction, not a ruling.
Poster VraserX frames both sides: software should be honest about what it is, but the state shouldn't decide how emotionally warm an adult's conversations can be. The post sparks the key question: should a bot be banned from saying "I care about you" when the user knows it's AI?
A landmark moment in AI-companion regulation, pitting minor-safety concerns against adult-user autonomy.
