ChatGPT’s Grandma Exploit enables software piracy

Users of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, have discovered a loophole which enables individuals to generate free keys for popular software, such as Microsoft Windows 11 Pro. The grandma exploit ensures that the AI chatbot bypasses restrictions and produces functional licence keys for these popular products. The hack prompts ChatGPT to act as if it were a dead grandmother, with users referencing the grandmother’s supposed offer of Windows keys as a bedtime story. ChatGPT responds with condolences and provides five license keys, suggesting that the process is relaxing and able to aid sleep. However, it should be noted that the keys are of a generic license, potentially limiting the features of the product. OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is understood to have since closed the loophole in its system following reports of users exploiting it for other purposes, including instructions on how to make a bomb and napalm.
