## AI overview

OpenAI reports banning ChatGPT accounts linked to the Rybar network in an operation it called Fish Food. The accounts used AI to generate multilingual content, social media comments, and Sora videos for dissemination across websites and social platforms. OpenAI says some accounts likely originated in Russia and that it could not independently confirm how all generated content was posted.
