Some also took to the microblogging site to share images of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Tesla CEO Elon Musk on the Indian identification card that had a proper QR code and Aadhaar number.

That was not all, social media users also shared fake PAN cards -  issued by the Income Tax department - that had remarkable accuracy. 

"Bro… ChatGPT just generated a fake PAN card in seconds. Imagine if this tech gets into the wrong hands — Aadhar, PAN, IDs, everything can be replicated. This is cool and terrifying. We’re not ready," wrote a user sharing the fake PAN card.

 'Have the potential to create risks'

GPT-4o makers OpenAI have acknowledged the potential risks of the new model. 

The company in a release said, "Unlike DALL·E, which operates as a diffusion model, 4o image generation is an autoregressive model natively embedded within ChatGPT. This fundamental difference introduces several new capabilities that are distinct from previous generative models, and that pose new risks… These capabilities, alone and in new combinations, have the potential to create risks across a number of areas, in ways that previous models could not."
