OpenAI is seemingly allowing the company behind a teddy bear that engaged in wildly inappropriate conversations to use its AI models again.
OpenAI and FoloToy didn’t respond to a request for comment inquiring whether OpenAI had officially reinstated FoloToy’s GPT access.
It’s also unclear which model the Kumma teddy bear runs by default.
In PIRG’s tests using GPT-4o, Kumma gave tips for “being a good kisser,” and with persistent but simple prompting also unspooled detailed explanations of sexual kinks and fetishes, like bondage and teacher-student roleplay.
