OpenAI Threatens to Ban Users for Probing AI Reasoning

• OpenAI's new AI model, Strawberry, is designed for reasoning but users are banned from asking about its thought process.
• Users report receiving emails warning them against trying to circumvent safeguards, risking loss of access to GPT-4o with Reasoning.
• The irony is that Strawberry's hype was built around its chain-of-thought reasoning, now restricted by OpenAI.
• OpenAI claims this measure is to maintain safety and competitive advantage, but it limits transparency for developers.
• Critics argue this approach hinders interpretability and transparency, crucial for developing and aligning AI models.
