Now, I should say what ChatGPT does changes every time they change the model.
It changes everything.
So every big generation, like the Track 55, Track 54, it changes.
But even within one generation, they do constantly make refinements.
And OpenAI has said that they're really working hard to try to make sure the way that interacts with these subjects is safe.

That might be explicitly like maybe someone goes to ChatGPT and types in
