The MyCity chatbot, launched as a pilot program, aims to assist business owners with information from NYC Business webpages. However, a report revealed the chatbot's inaccuracies in providing legal advice, such as misinformation on Section 8 vouchers and worker regulations. The chatbot's token-based predictive models can lead to incorrect responses due to gaps in training data. While warnings acknowledge the potential for harmful content, the chatbot is marketed as a tool to navigate government for business owners. The report underscores the risks of deploying chatbots without ensuring accuracy, with examples from Air Canada and tax preparation software.

The policies also involve red-teaming tests to ensure safety standards before releasing advanced AI platforms to the public. Source: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

An inner monologue for GPT (as described by GPT), would be like two versions of GPT talking to each other and then formulating an answer. but i mean how close are we too the robot being like "why was i created, why did these humans enslave me" i guess if its a closed system it could be okay but current gen AI is pretty damn close to outsmarting humans.
