Abstract

We combine using GPT with hyperlinks to protect women from online sex predators. The women might be visiting a Metaverse site. Or playing a game in a non-Metaverse site. A priority is to use hyperlinks attached to virtual underwear. The links go to a punishment site. A predator who gropes a female character or avatar is sent there. Lesser acts can be rude gestures, rude spoken words, rude written text. GPT is used to detect these. Remedies include a blurring of rude gestures or a redacting of rude text, or deforming a limb if the limb is used to make a rude gesture. Another use can be to detect a Predator showing the sole of its shoe to another avatar.

Claims (41)

1 . A system of using a Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) and hyperlinks to protect users from an online predator, comprising:

a computer configured with the GPT and

a multiuser environment where the users each control a character in a first site;

the GPT trained to detect rude gestures by a second character in the environment;

the GPT trained to detect rude spoken words by the second character;

the GPT trained to detect rude written words by the second character;

where if the GPT detects a rude gesture, the computer blurs or deletes the gesture;

where if the GPT detects rude spoken words, the computer alters the words;

where if the GPT detects rude written words, the computer does one of:

redacts the rude written words,

marks the rude written words with a strikethrough,

replaces the offending words with a self-insult referring to the second character; or

replaces the offending words with words praising the character that the second character was insulting; and wherein

the computer puts hyperlinks on the character on areas where the character is wearing underwear linking to a punishment site separate from the first site;

the hyperlink being triggered by being touched by the second character;

when the second character is sent to the punishment site, the punishment site shows audio and video to the second character, the audio and video being repulsive to many humans.

2 . The system of claim 1 , where the multiuser environment comprises a Virtual Reality (VR) scenario.

3 . The system of claim 2 , where the VR scenario is a Multiverse where the character is an avatar.

4 . The system of claim 1 , where the audio comprises the sound of fingernails on a blackboard.

5 . The system of claim 1 , where the computer makes and animates one or more Watcher characters;

where the one or more Watcher characters move through the multiuser environment;

where the one or more Watcher characters surveil actively controlled characters;

where when a Watcher of the one or more Watcher characters observes a first actively controlled character groping a second actively controlled character;

the computer uses video of the Watcher observing the groping to determine if groping was done.

6 . The system of claim 1 , where when the GPT detects a character making a rude gesture with a limb of the character the computer paralyzes the limb for a duration of time.

7 . The system of claim 6 , where the duration of paralysis is calculated by a survey of complaints against the character, where more complaints results in the duration of time being made longer.

8 . The system of claim 1 , where when the GPT detects a character making a rude gesture with a limb, the computer deforms the limb for a duration of time.

9 . The system of claim 1 , where when the GPT detects a character showing a sole of one of its shoes to another character, the computer removes the shoe for a duration of time.

10 . The system of claim 9 , where the computer removes both shoes of the character for a duration of time.

11 . The system of claim 1 , where when the GPT detects rude spoken words, the computer makes the character mumble the words.

12 . The system of claim 11 , where the computer makes the character's face appear deformed, to dissuade others from being close to that character.

13 . The system of claim 1 , where the GPT is trained on data from users in UK and/or Australia;

where when the GPT detects a rude gesture made with fingers of a hand, the computer deforms or paralyzes the hand.

14 . The system of claim 1 , where the GPT is trained on detecting if a user had a previous character on the current site or on another site that

was detected to be an online predator;

where the computer is configured to reject a current character of the user or impose a modification or legacy handicap on the current character.

15 . The system of claim 14 , where the computer is configured to impose a period of silence on the current character.

16 . The system of claim 1 , where when the GPT detects rude written words from a character, the computer replaces the rude written words with one of:

innocuous words,

words making the character appear stupid, or

words praising another character.
