Dean.Bot didn\u2019t all-out pretend to be Phillips himself; before engaging with Dean.Bot, website visitors would be shown a disclaimer describing the nature of the chatbot. Still, this type of use goes directly against OpenAI\u2019s policies. A spokesperson for the company confirmed the developer’s suspension in a statement to the Post<\/em>. It comes just weeks after OpenAI published a lengthy blog post<\/ins><\/a> about the measures it\u2019s taking to prevent the misuse of its technology<\/ins><\/a> ahead of the 2024 elections, specifically citing \u201cchatbots impersonating candidates\u201d as an example of what\u2019s not allowed.<\/p>\n

OpenAI also said in its blog post that it does not \u201callow people to build applications for political campaigning and lobbying.\u201d Per an earlier story by The Washington Post<\/ins><\/em><\/a>, the intent of Dean.Bot was to engage with potential supporters and spread the candidate\u2019s message. Following the Post<\/em>\u2019s inquiry, Delphi initially removed ChatGPT from the bot and kept it running with other, open-source tools before ultimately taking it town altogether on Friday night once OpenAI stepped in.<\/p>\n

If you visit the site now, you\u2019ll still be greeted by the disclaimer \u2014 but the chatbot itself is down due to \u201ctechnical difficulties,\u201d presenting visitors with the message, \u201cApologies, DeanBot is away campaigning right now!\u201d Engadget has reached out to OpenAI for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
