Not on the map. Why?

Abstract (arXiv)

In November 2023, OpenAI introduced a new service allowing users to create custom versions of ChatGPT (GPTs) by using specific instructions and knowledge to guide the model's behavior. We aim to raise awareness of the fact that GPTs can be used maliciously, posing privacy and security risks to their users.
