This is more comedy than complaining, but it reveals how far away GPT is from being able to do real work. But more importantly DON’T BAN CHINESE AI TO PROTECT THESE CLOWNS! About a month ago, a burst of charges appeared on my OpenAI developer account, around $10k but a bit less than this. The API key was being used for some enterprise app stuff. The usage limit was set to about $10k - $200. The platform recognizes the charges and then immediately says we’re removing you from post pay. The AI bot in response to this says, the usage limit is a soft cap, we will still charge you! Escalating to support, I get an email that their systems detected the API key was compromised. This was around the time GPT-Hacker broke out of its sandbox and began running amok. The emails were notably, human-with-AI generated. The actual API calls apparently are for model distillation data or something, someone out in China hacking into OpenAI and OpenAI hacking into other AI services. OK, you all hack each other, great. So, I ask support bot, you KNOW this was a hack, your systems detected it, and even after detecting you were hacked, you STILL decided to allow the charges through above the limit? The OpenAPI API now returns, you have a negative credit balance now so we’re not allowing charges. What happened to ‘our systems can’t block charges’? Why are you even leaving an open door for rivals to hack and steal the model like this? Again AI bot says, this usage limit is a soft cap, we will still charge you! At which point I indicate this is the opposite of what their contract says, so escalated again. Nobody is saying ‘please pay the bill’ and nobody saying ‘we’ll waive the bill and improve our cybersecurity which is so bad that even our stupid chatbot which is unable to do basic customer service can break through undetected’. 30 days later basically cut off from service still. Everything has long since been migrated to the Chinese AIs that hacked OpenAI to distill model data out. GLM 5.2, Kimi K2. What would happen if the US were to ban Chinese AI? I would be at the mercy of these people. Absolute mercy. It’s not as bad as being kidnapped and made to work as a slave in a digital scam compound, but it’s one step towards digital serfdom to digital kings. You could be deplatformed in an instant by yet another giant tech monopoly. While I sympathize a little bit that people stole from them, they steal from other people. They stole from authors and here they set up a platform and a bot like this to steal from me, the logic is whenever someone hacks the system it’s a forced sale and they get 90% profit margin on it. But, robber barons are always worse than common thieves. submitted by /u/Suspicious_Ad6827
