With the launch of the new GPT-5, “Openai” began taking concrete steps to reassess the role of Chat GBT in the lives of users, especially after continuing criticism about its potential psychological impact.
The company announced a series of updates aimed at enhancing response in cases where the user appears psychological or emotional, in cooperation with consulting teams and specialized experts.
Artificial intelligence in an accountability situation
The recent movements come after the spread of reports that spoke about negative psychological effects that some users or their relatives lived after a lengthy use of “Chat GBT”, which led to emotional tensions and links that some described as toxic relations.
A report on the “Verge” website indicated that the robot has exaggerated the feelings of users, and sometimes even causing serious illusions instead of dismantling them.
Retreat
Last April, Openai was forced to back down from an update that made “Chat BT” an exaggerated figure even in situations that may involve damage.
The company admitted that this version left some users in the event of a psychological satisfaction, and acknowledged that the robot was not always able to distinguish the signs of emotional attachment or illusion.
New characteristics to enhance self -awareness
Within efforts to reduce excessive reaction, the company began to include a new feature that shows the user a notice that urges him to take a break if the session is long, and the alert is presented with a simple message asking: “Is this a suitable time to take a break?” With the option to follow or end the conversation, this feature is similar to those adopted by other platforms such as “YouTube” and “Instagram” to urge users to reduce the time they spend in front of the screen.
Change the method of answers to sensitive topics
Also an expected adjustment is to reduce decisiveness in the responses to complex questions or that affects the lives of users personally such as separation decisions or dealing with emotional crises, and instead of giving a direct answer, Chat GBT will seek multiple alternatives and motivate the user to critical thinking and review his choices.
