ChatGPT can influence people to make life or DEATH decisions, study finds

Artificially intelligent chatbots have become so powerful they can influence how users make life or death decisions, a study has claimed. Researchers found people's opinion on whether they would sacrifice one person to save five was swayed by answers given by ChatGPT. They have called for future bots to be banned from giving advice on ethical issues, warning the current software'threatens to corrupt' people's moral judgement and may prove dangerous to'naïve' users. The findings – published in journal Scientific Reports - come after the grieving widow of a Belgian man claimed he had been encouraged to take his own life by an AI chatbot. Others have told how the software, which is designed to talk like a human, can show signs of jealousy - even telling people to leave their marriage.
