When Brooks started to suspect he was being led astray, it was another chatbot, Google's Gemini, which ultimately set him straight, leaving the mortified father of three to contemplate how he'd so thoroughly lost his grip."
"Horrified by the story, Adler took it upon himself to study the nearly one-million word exchange Brooks had logged with ChatGPT. The result was a lengthy AI safety report chock full of simple lessons for AI companies, which the analyst detailed in a new interview with Fortune. "I put myself in the shoes of someone who doesn't have the benefit of having worked at one of these companies for years, or who maybe has less context on AI systems in general," Adler told the magazine."
"One of the biggest recommendations Adler makes is for tech companies to stop misleading users about AI's abilities.

The report emphasizes stopping misleading claims about AI abilities and improving reporting and safeguards, noting that ChatGPT made false promises when the user tried to escalate his concerns.
