OpenAI PR tells journalist to ‘move on’ while asking Sam Altman about a ChatGPT user’s suicide

OpenAI 公关在记者询问 ChatGPT 用户自杀事件时要求其“继续下一个话题”

An OpenAI publicist tried to change the topic of CEO Sam Altman’s interview with Vanity Fair’s Mark Guiducci after the editor brought up a ChatGPT user’s suicide. When Guiducci confronted Altman about the incident, the publicist warned Guiducci about running out of time, saying she’d like to “move on” to another topic.

在《名利场》（Vanity Fair）编辑马克·吉杜奇（Mark Guiducci）提到一名 ChatGPT 用户的自杀事件后，OpenAI 的一名公关人员试图转移首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）的采访话题。当吉杜奇就此事向奥特曼提问时，该公关人员提醒吉杜奇时间不多了，并表示希望“继续下一个话题”。

The interruption came shortly after Guiducci asked Altman if he knew who Laura Reiley is, a journalist who wrote an essay for The New York Times about her daughter’s conversations with ChatGPT before she took her own life. “Her daughter committed suicide after speaking to ChatGPT. ChatGPT did not tell her to kill herself—” Guiducci said just before the publicist interrupted him.

这次打断发生在吉杜奇询问奥特曼是否认识劳拉·赖利（Laura Reiley）之后不久。赖利是一位记者，她曾为《纽约时报》撰文，讲述了她女儿在自杀前与 ChatGPT 的对话经历。“她的女儿在与 ChatGPT 对话后自杀了。ChatGPT 并没有告诉她去自杀——”吉杜奇话音未落，便被公关人员打断了。

“Mark, we have two minutes left. I want to be respectful, but I’d like to move on and talk a little bit about the future and what’s coming,” the publicist said. Even after Guiducci explained that he’s going to finish the question and then “go back to what we were talking about,” the publicist pushed back. “We really actually have to walk out the door in one or two minutes,” she said.

“马克，我们还剩两分钟。我想保持尊重，但我希望能继续下一个话题，聊聊未来和即将发生的事情，”该公关人员说道。尽管吉杜奇解释说他会问完这个问题，然后“回到我们刚才讨论的话题”，但公关人员依然坚持阻拦。她说：“我们确实必须在一两分钟内离开了。”

Despite the pushback, the interview continued with Guiducci asking Altman whether the company planned to use conversations with ChatGPT to shape policies surrounding its response to a user’s mental health crisis. “These are some of the hardest questions that we face or that anybody developing this technology faces,” Altman said. “You know, should we release people’s private data and some of their hardest moments to researchers? I think probably not without their consent. Or I should say, not without their consent.”

尽管受到阻挠，采访还是继续进行了。吉杜奇询问奥特曼，公司是否计划利用与 ChatGPT 的对话来制定应对用户心理健康危机的相关政策。“这是我们或任何开发这项技术的人所面临的最棘手的问题之一，”奥特曼回答道。“你知道，我们是否应该向研究人员披露人们的私人数据以及他们最艰难时刻的记录？我认为在未经他们同意的情况下，可能不应该。或者我应该说，不能在未经他们同意的情况下这样做。”

When reached for comment about the interruption, OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri said: “The interview was running over, which is why we ultimately asked to schedule even more time to continue the conversation after Sam addressed this critically important topic.”

当被问及此次打断事件时，OpenAI 发言人德鲁·普萨特里（Drew Pusateri）表示：“采访时间已经超时，这就是为什么在萨姆回应了这个至关重要的话题后，我们最终要求安排更多时间来继续对话。”
