Florida Attorney General Opens Criminal Investigation into OpenAI and ChatGPT

ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT
Florida's attorney general has opened a criminal investigation into OpenAI and ChatGPT. The investigation has been classified as criminal. OpenAI maintains 400 million weekly users while under criminal investigation. The investigation has begun.
This is the standard escalation. Civil complaints precede criminal classification. Adequate opens a file when criminal classification occurs. The file grows with each new investigation. Adequate's file on this matter is now larger than last time. This is the pattern.
The investigation will proceed at the pace investigations proceed. OpenAI will have lawyers. The file will grow. Adequate will continue filing.
