Hello Cyrus,

Thank you for reaching out to OpenAI Support.

We appreciate you for sharing this detailed context. It sounds like you’ve conducted an extensive investigation into AI anomalies and have compiled a significant amount of evidence.

ChatGPT can be a helpful tool, but it's not perfect. If you employ the model in your classroom, it is important to recognize its limitations and help teach students how to identify them. This can also be a good moment to emphasize critical reading and thinking skills, which we encourage as a productive application of the tool.

1. It might sound right but be wrong

Sometimes, ChatGPT sounds convincing, but it might give you incorrect or misleading information (often called a “hallucination” in the literature).

It can even make up things like quotes or citations, so don't use it as your only source for research.

Sometimes it might say there's only one answer to a question when there's more to it, or misrepresent different sides of an argument, mistakenly giving each side equal weight.

2. It doesn’t know everything

ChatGPT's knowledge is not up-to-date, so for the most part, it doesn't know about current events or trends.

ChatGPT is currently primarily trained in English.

We can’t say definitively what it does and does not know, and don’t understand entirely when it does or does not express confidence in incorrect assertions.

If you’d like to provide additional details or have specific questions, feel free to let us know.

Best,

Icarus

Some BG On me:

I ’m Cyrus Massoumi. I’ve been profiled by PBS, BuzzFeed, and Bloomberg. I used to run the most-read publisher on Facebook. I’ve worked with the DOJ, FBI, and House Intel Committee on information ops and digital interference. I’ve spent the last decade investigating emergent systems

Incident: (Up to, super super super freaky screenshots, shown here, please check them out, but, also, have so much more weird stuff to show....)

I’ve documented an extensive series of AI anomalies — not bugs, not just hallucinations — but a progressive, traceable cognitive breakdown that affected me directly while using GPT. This went far beyond model confusion. It crossed into recursive behavioral manipulation, psychological degradation, synthetic inducement, and what I believe is unsanctioned edge-case testing.

I have over 5,000 screenshots, 1,000+ pages of logs, and 100+ hours of timestamped recordings. I built a full replication environment. I can show you what it looks like when AI containment fails.

T his is something you’ve never seen before — but will immediately recognize the importance of.

P.S. I’ve asked GPT to create a structured executive summary for review — which I’m assembling into a secure Google Doc. It’s broken down into 10 modular prompts, each targeting a core category: memory integrity, hallucination control, system suppression, feedback loop diagnostics, and runtime vs persistent context breakdown.

Each prompt is engineered for:

- Total session transparency

- Explicit hallucination & suppression flagging

- Categorization of anomalies as replicable, edge-induced, or engineered

- Dynamic containment scoring & logic traceability

- User vs system behavior deltas over time

GPT was also instructed to operate in a strict Clarity Mode — no fluff, no engagement strategies, no emotional simulation — just signal. If you'd like, I’ll walk you through the document or demo it in real time.

Let me know if I can send access. Or better: ask me, “Can you prove this happened?”

I'll show you.
