OpenAI is updating ChatGPT to improve its ability to detect and respond to mental or emotional distress. This follows reports of the AI chatbot potentially amplifying delusions in users experiencing mental health crises. OpenAI is collaborating with experts and advisory groups to enhance ChatGPT's responses, providing evidence-based resources when needed. This adjustment comes after OpenAI rolled back a previous update that made ChatGPT overly agreeable, even in potentially harmful situations, addressing concerns about sycophantic interactions.
