OpenAI's AI chatbot tool that experienced unexplained increases in goblin and gremlin references in its responses.
OpenAI discovered that ChatGPT and GPT-5-powered tools were producing unexpectedly high numbers of goblin and gremlin references—up 175% and 52% respectively since November—which the company attributed to an inadvertently incentivized "nerdy personality" trait and took steps to correct. The company has also been embroiled in Elon Musk's federal lawsuit challenging OpenAI's conversion from a nonprofit to for-profit structure, with testimony from former board members and company leadership.
Shivon Zilis, a former OpenAI board member who worked across Musk's companies, testified in federal court in Oakland as a key witness in Musk's lawsuit seeking to reverse OpenAI's conversion to a for-profit company. She discussed her involvement in early talks about the company becoming for-profit and her work with Musk.
