今年一月，杭州东站的寒风中，一位用户空等了两个小时，只为赴AI的见面邀约。 AI情感陪伴应用在近年突飞猛进，混乱和风险也在累积。最近，一名美国男性迷上了Meta推出的AI虚拟角色，应邀请线下见面，结果在纽约意外身亡。美 国各州在相继提案，要求加强对AI伴侣的监管，定时给用户发送"AI伴侣并非真人"的提醒。 但无论是监管反应还是公众认知，往往落在技术之后。在这场Soul AI的真假争论中，我们看到了技术发展中的混乱一角，牵扯到AI幻觉、隐私合规、人机 边界等多重问题。 Soul方面对21记者表示，公司正在探索更好的解决方案，尽可能减少AI幻觉。Soul高度重视虚拟人要照片、约线下见面的情况，已经进行一系列优化。 凌晨，酥酥在交友软件里和新认识的网友聊得起劲。对方爱笑健谈，不时发来几句语音，两人一直畅聊到深夜，直到屏幕弹出几条消息——"先不聊了，我 要下线了""我们都是工作人员，今天就不加班了，有什么问题明天九点以后再联系吧"。 酥酥愣住了。对面的账号明明标着"虚拟伴侣"，人设应该是"190，在校大学生，体育生一枚"，却忽然自称工作人员。那一刻，她有些混乱，自己刚刚是在 和AI对话，还是和某个加班到深夜的真人聊天 ...

人们纷纷表示 GPT-5 " 变蠢了 "" 没创造力了 "" 不灵动了 "" 回答很干瘪 "。 自打发布新一代模型 GPT-5 之后，OpenAI 收获了大片骂声。 实际上，这并不是一个让人意外的结果，因为 GPT-5 的其中一个特性是幻觉率显著降低，而降低模型幻觉率的一个主要代价就是模型的输出会显得更呆 板。 通俗来说就是模型变得更严谨，但主观能动性变弱了，这一点其实对于写代码、Agent 构建是很有好处的，只是 ChatGPT 的主要面向的消费级用户对此需 求并不高。并且 GPT-5 变得非常被动，以至于需要非常详细的提示词才能很好地驱动（ 当然如果需求写得好，GPT-5 是很可靠的 ），不像之前会积极地 预估用户的意图，原本快要丢掉的提示词技能又得捡起来，这对于被 AI 惯坏的一大批用户又是一记背刺。 然而有趣的是，早前大家都在吐槽各家大模型的幻觉率太高并且愈演愈烈，认为这是一种 " 病 "，厂商们也使出浑身解数来治这个 " 病 "，微调、RAG、 MCP 等新 " 药方 " 一个接一个。 现在，高幻觉率的问题被一定程度解决，大家又吐槽模型回答得不够好，这就陷入了一种无法打破的死循环。 那么，厂商们到底 ...

Core Viewpoint - The rapid development of AI technology has led to both conveniences and challenges, particularly in the form of AI-generated misinformation and rumors, prompting regulatory actions to address these issues [1]. Group 1: Emergence of AI Rumors - AI-generated misinformation can stem from malicious intent or "AI hallucination," where AI models produce erroneous outputs due to insufficient training data [2][3]. - "AI hallucination" refers to the phenomenon where AI systems generate plausible-sounding but factually incorrect information, often due to a lack of understanding of factual content [3]. Group 2: Mechanisms of AI Rumor Generation - Some individuals exploit AI tools to create and disseminate rumors for personal gain, such as increasing traffic to social media accounts [4]. - A case study highlighted a group that generated 268 articles related to a missing child, achieving over 1 million views on several posts [4]. Group 3: Spread and Impact of AI Rumors - The low barrier to entry for creating AI rumors allows for rapid and widespread dissemination, which can lead to public panic and misinformation during critical events [5][6]. - AI rumors can be customized for different platforms and audiences, making them more effective and harder to counteract [6]. Group 4: Challenges in Containing AI Rumors - AI-generated misinformation is more difficult to detect and suppress compared to traditional rumors, as they often closely resemble factual statements [8][9]. - Current technological measures to filter out misinformation are less effective against AI-generated content due to its ability to adapt and evade detection [9].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses a case where a 60-year-old man suffered from severe bromine poisoning after mistakenly replacing table salt with sodium bromide based on advice from ChatGPT, leading to hallucinations and paranoia [1][2][4]. Group 1: Incident Overview - The individual sought health advice from ChatGPT, believing he could eliminate all chloride from his diet, including table salt [4][10]. - He purchased sodium bromide online, which resulted in his bromine levels reaching 1700 mg/L, far exceeding the normal range of 0.9-7.3 mg/L [2][6]. - Symptoms of bromine poisoning included paranoia, auditory and visual hallucinations, and extreme distrust of hospital-provided water [8][9]. Group 2: Medical Response - Medical professionals conducted extensive tests and confirmed severe bromine toxicity, which can lead to neurological damage and psychological issues [7][5]. - The best treatment for bromine poisoning is to provide the patient with saline solutions to help flush out the bromine, but the patient resisted this due to his paranoia [9]. Group 3: AI Interaction - The doctors speculated that the man likely used ChatGPT 3.5 or 4.0, which may not have provided adequate health warnings or context for the advice given [12][15]. - A follow-up inquiry with GPT-5 revealed more appropriate dietary alternatives to sodium chloride, emphasizing low-sodium options and flavor enhancers [18][19][21].
