@nytimes: As OpenAI was growing, its novel mind-bending chatbot technology started affecting users in unexpected ways. Now, the company faces five wrongful death lawsuits. To understand how this happened, The New York Times interviewed more than 40 current and former OpenAI employees. Kashmir Hill, who reports on technology and privacy, describes what the company has done about users’ troubling reports.

ChatGPT doesn’t answer your question factually, it finds ways to affirm your questions

This is so weird to me. Like all I've used it for is suggesting recipes, planning trips, and writing my resume. It's a tool. Not a person.

I GUARANTEE YOU, OpenAI knew exactly what was happening, compared the risk against the earnings, and continued to do it.

Mental illness is a spectrum and we’re all on it. Some of us are just better at making than others.

We’ve got to stop referring to chat bots as ‘search engines’ though. Because they’re not. They can’t look up data and present it to you, that’s why they hallucinate all the time. We need to call chatbots what they are, which are text prediction programs. Just an advanced version of the suggested word feature on your phone.

"AI couldn't send me into psychosis, I'm too smart" and that's exactly what everyone else thought

It’s weird bc for me, I prefer an as objective as possible gpt. I want 0 bias and straight to the point facts about my questions. Not warm messages…

The first paragraph is always something flattering complementary like that was very insightful of you or how smart that is of you most people don’t seem to grasp that. I don’t even read the first paragraph but I can see if you’re on the edge you might get tipped.

May I remind all of yall that openAI is actively destroying the environment right data centers that are using water at an unreasonable rate…anyone who uses it is pandering

Lowkey I feel like that’s just user error. Like if ur mentally ill and prone to psychosis it’s going to happen one way or another, whether that’s from ChatGPT, social media, reading books, seeing certain numbers over and over, etc. if people are looking for a reason to believe their delusional thoughts they will find them. This may just be a general mental health rather than a ChatGPT issue. It would be interesting to see some kinda study that reveals how much of this is actually ChatGPT’s fault or just general mental health issues

This is so messed up. It scares me. Cant people see this is only the beginning? Red flags already.

All of y’all who are actively using AI really need to reflect if it’s worth the environmental irrevocably consequences that will impact communities in the United States and eventually the world.

It shows how hard it is for people to be vulnerable with others and how desperate they are for connection.

People need to take responsibility for their own actions. If you believe you’re talking to spirits via ChatGPT then there’s very little society should be doing to safeguard against that because it’s insane
