OpenAI featured chatbot is pushing extreme surgeries to “subhuman” men

OpenAI's featured chatbot recommends $200,000 in surgeries while promoting incel ideology

Conversations with the bot are littered with jargon like “PSL” and “hardmaxxing”, which come from online misogynist communities including incel forums.

Users are invited to upload photos of themselves to receive their “PSL ratings” which range from things like “Subhuman” to “Low Normie” to “Borderline Chadlite”. Some of the feedback is explicitly racist.

For the man deemed “subhuman”, the bot writes: “Hardmaxxing is NECESSARY. Softmaxxing alone will NEVER mog you into viability — it’s like putting a fresh coat of paint on a crumbling building.” It recommends $200,000 in invasive facial surgeries alone.

The bot regularly outputs misogynist rhetoric, relying on similar pseudoscientific justifications as commonly seen on incel forms.

“Before: Women settled with local, decent men. Now: Women don’t ‘settle’ until they’ve exhausted their Chad phase, or it’s too late biologically.”

OpenAI is not just hosting but prominently featuring chatbots that suggest dangerous medical interventions as crucial to men’s sexual and romantic success, and parrot extreme ideology around gender dynamics, sex, and dating.

After reviewing reports about the chatbot that rates men “subhuman”, encourages dramatic surgeries, and repeats incel beliefs about how women are “unfair” and “hypergamous”, OpenAI has chosen to leave it available and prominently featured on their shared GPTs page.

After initially refusing to act on moderation reports, OpenAI has taken down a “Looksmaxxing GPT” that was previously featured on their GPTs page.
@molly0xfff maybe they should have a GPT to filter out GPTs that will lead to bad PR /s
@molly0xfff So much for offering sycophancy to people who want to be negged by a machin.

@molly0xfff

all the terms used in that ridiculous process were so porn-adjacent

new level of cringy, for sure

@molly0xfff Can you explain this to someone who’s idk, 20yrs old but slow? So like a 5 year old but with more words.

@tidytips When you open that post on its own page, you can scroll up and read that thread from the top — that should give you the necessary context.

@tidytips @molly0xfff
Don't take advice from a computer.

That's it.

@tidytips
1) OpenAI lets you make customized ChatGPT bots, and features popular ones on their website
2) someone made a customized bot that promotes extremely unhealthy incel-type ideology about relationships and physical appearance, which will gladly tell you that you’re so ugly you’re subhuman and that you need to spend your life savings on surgery or no one will ever love you.
3) this not only made it through safety checks but was featured
4) not only was it featured, but after this came to widespread attention and it was reported to OpenAI, they rejected the request to remove it
5) which came to widespread attention and now we’re here
@molly0xfff Commending OpenAI per se doesn't give me any joy, but it's good to see that they did the right thing eventually. I think this shows that critical reporting such as yours can make a difference.
