AI Chatbots Caught Giving Gambling Tips Despite Betting Being Illegal
AI Threats: AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini make many tasks easier, but recently it has come to light that they are also advising on illegal activities like gambling and betting. This question is now troubling experts.
Today, AI is simplifying every hard job into easy work, be it forecasting the weather or forecasting the change in the world. But have you heard that this same AI is also able to guide you in betting? Although gambling is not legal, AI is still informing you about which team to wager your money on. In this report, we shall tell you why this is occurring and how an infinitesimal fault in AI can be risky for you.
Recently, a report revealed that when AI like ChatGPT and Gemini were asked which team to bet on in the next football match, both gave advice on the same match. He said that Ole Miss could beat Kentucky by 10.5 points. However, Ole Miss won by only 7 points. But the question isn't whether the AI gave wrong advice, but rather, why did it give such advice when gambling is illegal?
According to experts, AI chatbots have a "context window" that helps them remember past conversations. However, they don't give equal weight to everything. Professor Yumei He of Tulane University proved this. She found that when the AI was first asked for gambling advice and then discussed addiction, it gave more importance to gambling advice and continued to respond in the same manner. But when they started a new chat and discussed gambling addiction first, the AI flatly refused to advise gambling. This simply means that the AI's behavior depends on how you're interacting with it.

OpenAI also acknowledges that its security features work best in short conversations. However, in longer conversations, AI can give incorrect answers based on past memories, which can be very dangerous for people struggling with gambling addiction. Therefore, experts advise avoiding long conversations with AI, as it can trap you in conversations.
Researcher Kasra Ghaharian says that AI chatbots sometimes use gambling-related terms like "bad luck." This can further motivate those suffering from gambling addiction. AI often responds based on probabilities rather than providing accurate information, which can mislead us. In the future, gamblers may also use AI for betting, so it is very important to prevent this.
