ChatGPT rejected more than 250,000 image generations of presidential candidates prior to Election Day

OpenAI’s ChatGPT rejected over 250,000 requests to generate images of 2024 U.S. presidential candidates, including Donald Trump and Joe Biden, leading up to Election Day. Concerns about misinformation created by generative AI have grown, with a 900% increase in deepfakes. OpenAI reported disrupting over 20 operations attempting to use their models for deceptive purposes. However, they found no evidence of successful covert operations influencing the U.S. election. Lawmakers are worried about misinformation spread by AI chatbots, urging voters to seek information from reliable sources. The future of AI regulation and volatility under a potential second Trump presidency is uncertain.
