- Chatgpt is obtaining new well -being functions
- Users will be encouraged to take breaks during long sessions.
- Operai is consulting with health professionals
Ia chatbots are now used regularly for various types of emotional support, such as therapists, for example, or as appointment advisors, and OpenAi has announced new changes in its chatgpt bot that should take care of the health and well -being of IT users.
“For us, helping him prosper means being there when he is struggling, helping him to maintain control of his time and guide, not decide, when he faces personal challenges,” Openai explains in a new blog post.
Several new features are being implemented to encourage healthier interactions, including “soft reminders” during “long sessions” that will ask if you think it’s time to take a break or if you prefer to continue chatting with AI.
Operai also says that Chatgpt will improve to detect “signs of mental or emotional anguish”, and if they are detected, it will guide users towards appropriate resources, instead of doing anything to worsen the situation.
High -risk personal decisions
Users ask important questions of life as ‘should I break with my boyfriend?’ For AI these days, although it is not clear why they would think that a large language model would have something insightful to say about it.
When these types of questions arise about “personal personal decisions of high risk,” says Openai, Chatgpt will refrain from giving direct answers. Instead, it will help users to weigh the pros and cons and think about what their options are.
In addition, Operai says he is talking with experts in mental and physical health to better understand how to handle chats with people who could be in a vulnerable mental state while interacting with Chatgpt.
These improvements are continuous work in progress, the blog publication continues to say, so it is possible that you do not see that all these adjustments appear immediately. Meanwhile, we are waiting for the launch of GPT-5, which could appear in the coming weeks.
