OpenAI Is Having a Mental Health Crisis
TOS will always rule the day - don't regulate us we have to innovate
According to data released by OpenAI last month, roughly three million ChatGPT users display signs of serious mental health emergencies like emotional reliance on AI, psychosis, mania, and self-harm, with roughly more than a million users talking to the chatbot about suicide every week.
I really don’t understand why this is a problem. They (OpenAI) have NO problem detecting threats to protected classes. Surely they could detect threats of self harm…
