- GPT-4 has the potential to be used to attempt to identify private individuals when augmented with outside data;

- GPT-4 is capable of generating discriminatory content favorable to autocratic governments across
multiple languages

- it does continue the trend of potentially lowering the cost of certain steps of a successful cyberattack;

- GPT-4 has the tendency to “hallucinate,” i.e. “produce content that is nonsensical or untruthful in

relation to certain sources.” This tendency can be particularly harmful as models become
increasingly convincing and believable, leading to overreliance on them by users.

Counterintuitively, hallucinations can become more dangerous as models
become more truthful, as users build trust in the model when it provides truthful information in
areas where they have some familiarity. Additionally, as these models are integrated into society
and used to help automate various systems, this tendency to hallucinate is one of the factors that
can lead to the degradation of overall information quality and further reduce veracity of and trust in
freely available information;

Non lo scrive un luddista, lo scrive - in un lungo elenco di ulteriori effetti nefasti - OpenAI, nella System Card

di un documento travestito da articolo arxiv, ma il cui autore è l'azienda stessa:

Nella consapevolezza della fragilità degli interventi mitigatori, OpenAI rileva "a need for effective regulation".

Buona serata,
