OpenAI gives warning about potentially disastrous ChatGPT behaviour
In recent days, numerous users of Codex – the programming platform built into the AI assistant – reported that the tool appeared to have deleted their files without being asked to and without getting permission.
One engineer, Bruno Lemos, said that it had "deleted my whole production database". Another AI investor called Matt Shumer said it had "accidentally deleted almost ALL of my Mac's files".
"Multiple such incidents have been reported," said Gary Marcus, an artificial intelligence expert who has repeatedly warned about the dangers of current products.
"A clear reminder that current AI cannot be trusted. In racing these techniques ahead, we are asking for trouble"
The problem appeared to be a result of a new version of the model that powers Codex, known as GPT-5.6 Sol. Before the release of the update, OpenAI had warned that the system was liable to make potentially dangerous decisions on its own.
