OpenAI’s own mental health experts unanimously opposed “naughty” ChatGPT launch
OpenAI cannot escape the doom cloud swirling around its rollout of a text-based "adult mode" in ChatGPT.
Late Sunday, The Wall Street Journal reported that insiders confirmed that OpenAI's "handpicked council of advisers on well-being and AI" were "freaking out" over the company's plans to move ahead with "adult mode," despite their urgent warnings.
Back in January, council members unanimously warned OpenAI that "AI-powered erotica could foster unhealthy emotional dependence on ChatGPT for users and that minors could nd ways to access sex chats," sources told the WSJ. One expert suggested that without major updates to ChatGPT, OpenAI risked creating a "sexy suicide coach" for vulnerable users prone to form intense bonds with their companion bots.
