On Thursday, the Chinese state media issued a warning about the potential risks associated with investing in ChatGPT stock. Meanwhile, AI companies are encouraging investors to exercise caution, as their shares have skyrocketed and attracted regulatory scrutiny.

The newspaper warned that some people speculate on false concepts, enticing others into schemes that ultimately result in disappointment. It advised investors to not fall for such schemes.
Due to the intense interest in generative AI technology, which has the ability to produce new data and media such as text and images, the companies developing ChatGPT-related concepts have drawn attention to potential risks at the request of regulators, after their prices skyrocketed.
