ChatGPT Tool could be Abused by Scammers and Hackers

A ChatGPT feature allowing users to easily build their own artificial-intelligence assistants can be used to create tools for cyber-crime, a BBC News investigation has revealed.

OpenAI launched the feature last month, so users could build customised versions of ChatGPT "for almost anything”.


Now, BBC News has used it to create a generative pre-trained transformer that crafts convincing emails, texts and social-media posts for scams and hacks.
