- Sol 5.6 incorrectly flagged a harmless Excel automation task as a cybersecurity threat.
- The user’s account was banned immediately, with an appeal rejected within two hours.
- The model’s error messages referenced 'dynamically ev,' indicating potential issues with code generation or safety filters.
- This incident highlights potential overreach in OpenAI’s safety moderation, risking false positives for legitimate users.
A Reddit user reported that OpenAI’s Sol 5.6 model flagged a legitimate Excel task as a cybersecurity threat, resulting in an immediate account ban. The task involved creating a complex Excel workbook for tracking rental property finances, submitted as a single-shot prompt. Despite the task being harmless, Sol 5.6 generated extensive code that errored, including an exception referencing 'dynamically ev' (likely 'dynamic evaluation'). The user’s appeal was rejected within two hours, highlighting potential flaws in OpenAI’s safety moderation system.
This incident raises concerns about Sol 5.6’s overzealous threat detection, which may disproportionately impact users performing routine automation tasks. The rapid rejection of appeals suggests a lack of nuance in OpenAI’s moderation policies, potentially deterring legitimate use cases for AI-powered coding assistants.
Developers relying on Sol for automation may face unwarranted bans, disrupting workflows.
Companies using Sol for internal tools risk account suspensions, impacting productivity.
Users may lose trust in AI tools if safety systems misclassify benign tasks as threats.
