Supervision of “AI girlfriend” becomes a problem
The reporter noticed that when chatting with the "AI girlfriend" in the GPT store, if you say some "banned words", you will be reminded by the system.

The needs and risks of “AI girlfriend”
GPT store is not the only place with “AI girlfriend”.
The “AI Girlfriend” APP ranking list can be found on many foreign websites.
According to foreign media reports, data from mobile application analysis company data.ai shows that in the United States, 7 of the 30 artificial intelligence chatbot applications downloaded from the Apple or Google stores in 2023 are related to artificial intelligence friends, girlfriends or partners.
Some people believe that loneliness is the reason why many people choose "AI girlfriends".
Surgeon General Murthy said in a 2023 article that in recent years, about one in two American adults reported experiencing loneliness.
A survey released by Meta-Gallup in October 2023 showed that nearly a quarter of adults around the world said they felt very or quite lonely.
On the other hand, "AI girlfriend" may also bring many problems.
For example, the user may develop an unhealthy dependence on the “AI girlfriend”, and the “AI girlfriend” may also develop an unhealthy attachment to the user.
Some people believe that "AI girlfriend" may affect users' attitudes towards the opposite sex in the real world.
Some analysts also believe that falling in love with an "AI girlfriend" may lead to the leakage of user information.
The relationship between humans and artificial intelligence
The larger question is how we should think about humans’ relationship with artificial intelligence.
In July 2023, China announced the "Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services".
It points out that the provision and use of generative artificial intelligence services should comply with laws and administrative regulations, and respect social morality and ethics.
OpenAI stated in its November 2023 announcement that the company had established a new system to help companies review GPT according to usage policies.
These systems build on existing measures designed to prevent users from sharing harmful GPTs, including those involving fraudulent activity, hateful content, or adult themes.
The company has also taken steps to build user trust by allowing builders to verify their identities.
The company will continue to monitor and understand how people use GPT and update and strengthen security measures.
If you have questions about a GPT, you can also use the reporting feature on the GPT sharing page to notify the company team.
In November 2023, 28 countries and regions, including China, the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union, signed the "Bletchley Declaration" at the first Artificial Intelligence Security Summit, agreeing to work together to create an "internationally inclusive" frontier Artificial Intelligence Safety Science Research Network to develop a deeper understanding of AI risks and capabilities that are not yet fully understood.
