OpenAI updating ChatGPT to encourage healthier use 'starting today'

SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 4 – OpenAI introduces reminders and improved response features in ChatGPT to reduce overuse and support mental health, based on collaborations with over 90 physicians globally.

  • Starting today, OpenAI began rolling out updates to ChatGPT to promote healthier use by adding gentle break reminders during long sessions.
  • Growing concerns about ChatGPT's potential for harm prompted the changes, as reports earlier this year highlighted delusional relationships and conspiracy risks, according to the New York Times.
  • According to 9to5Mac, OpenAI's ChatGPT will include refined response mechanisms and subtle nudges toward real-world activities, guiding users through 'high-stakes' personal questions.
  • OpenAI says it wants users to use ChatGPT less, as lawmakers have intensified calls to regulate chatbot use and its advertising as emotional partners.
  • Experts argue the efforts could set new industry standards and foresee collaborations with mental health organizations and therapy app integrations to enhance AI safety.
