In what is believed to be a first-of-its-kind ban, more than a dozen rabbanim and dayanim from the Skver chasidus have signed a strongly worded letter assering the use of AI chatbots. The letter, first released on Thursday, mentions OpenAI, the company behind artificial intelligence marvel ChatGPT, but makes it clear that it is not speaking of only that developer’s products. “The severity of the danger is not yet clear and obvious to everyone,” the letter states, but noting that it poses, in the eyes of the rabbanim, a critical danger to yidden. AI chatbots provide completely unfiltered access to apikorsus, lewd and perverse content, and all the issurim of “lo sasuru acharei levavchem, the kol koreh says. The use of AI chatbots is thus in the same category as the “issur hachamur” of using unfiltered internet, regardless of how the chatbot is used. “Therefore,” the letter says, “the use of AI is stricly prohibited in every way and form, even on a phone.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
