ChatGPT launches new anti-gun AI policies one day after Everytown recommends new anti-gun AI policies. The popular artificial intelligence assistant is now completely anti-gun. Gennifer Hesseling is the “shop mom” at a gun shop she started with her husband Phil in 2017, Hesseling & Sons Firearms & Gunsmithing. The business began in their garage almost 10 years ago, but they now occupy a 15,000 square foot facility located in Lima, Ohio. Gennifer, who has a background in graphic design, handles all of the shop’s marketing and social media, which has grown tremendously due to her hard work. She had been relying heavily on ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence or AI assistant made by OpenAI. “I’ve learned to be cautious because of the industry we’re in, but ChatGPT would help write copy and other media,” Gennifer said Monday. “We had a playful voice on our social media. I’m creative but if you tune your chatbot, it can mimic what you do and make it easier for you. It knows you and your products. It created actual ad campaigns. It would write and promote products for us. If I gave my chatbot what was in my head it would create it quickly.” One ad campaign was designed to presell specific products before the gun shop actually got them in stock. It was tremendously successful. Earlier this month, Gennifer wanted to create another ad campaign for gold-plated Desert Eagle pistols, which the shop was about to acquire. Unfortunately, her AI said no. “Until this month, we’ve never had an issue, but something changed. Our AI changed,” she said. “We’ve never had a restriction from ChatGPT about selling guns or promoting gun sales. Basically, the AI said, ‘I know we’ve done this in the past, but I can’t help you now.’ I was not selling anything illegal. I was asking my chatbot to assist with sales of lawful products.” Read more here: tinyurl.com/yn2dxv8x @2AFDN
