In just two short years, OpenAI has transformed the world of the Internet and technology with AI and ChatGPT. However, this change has also caused OpenAI to try to transform from a non-profit foundation into a company and to experience turbulence. This week, it was revealed that OpenAI artificial intelligence bots were behind a critical DDoS attack. The attack was on a critical company selling 3D real human images.
DDoS attack on 3D human images from OpenAI artificial intelligence bots!
Although OpenAI did not respond to these allegations, Oleksandr Tomchuk, CEO of the Triplegangers site, shared important information on the subject. First of all, Triplegangers is a Ukrainian company that sells 3D scanned images of real people. Many professional companies from game companies to architectural firms buy these images.
The company, which works with real people, also has measures to prevent search engines, including OpenAI, from accessing these personal files on the site. In this sense, Triplegangers thought that it prevented access to this information with the Robot txt file. This file contains codes that prevent bots from accessing unauthorised 3D scan data and files.
The much-anticipated January update for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 has arrived before the month’s midpoint. Here are the details...
However, last Saturday night, the Triplegangers site faced a massive DDoS attack. Trying to understand where the attack came from, the company was surprised to see that the source of the DDoS attack was OpenAI artificial intelligence bots.
Accordingly, OpenAI bots suddenly started scanning the site with 600 different IPs on Saturday night. The company, which experienced systemic problems due to the intensity, realised that the bots reached 3D scan data despite the robot txt file. However, the company, which has seven employees, does not know whether OpenAI copied this personal information. CEO Tomchuk explained that they only got rid of the scan on Tuesday, which started on Saturday and almost crashed the system, basically like a DDoS attack.
The Triplegangers site currently has the world’s largest image library of scanned images of real people. Accordingly, completely real person images such as hands, faces, personal marks may have been copied by OpenAI artificial intelligence bots.
CEO Tomchuk explained that they tried to contact OpenAI for scanning by artificial intelligence bots, but received no response. Again, OpenAI has not responded to requests for clarification from the media.
So do you think OpenAI could have actually copied 3D human images? What kind of danger can the inclusion of this personal data in artificial intelligence bots pose? We are waiting for your comments.
