- Sam Altman is worried about the excessive dependence of people in the chatgpt
- The Operai CEO says: “Something about deciding collectively that we are going to live our lives in the way it tells us that it feels bad and dangerous.”
- Chatgpt receives more than 2.5 billion indications per day, making OpenNAi one of the most popular platforms on the planet
The Operai CEO, Sam Altman, says that people have an “excessive dependence” in Chatgpt and that it is worrying for future generations.
Speaking in a banking event of the Federal Reserve, Altman said: “People trust Chatgpt too much. There are young people who say things like: ‘I can’t make any decision in my life without telling Chatgpt everything that is happening. He knows me, he meets my friends. I’m going to do whatever he says.’ That is really bad for me.”
This occurs after the new data has found that Chatgpt receives more than 2.5 billion indications per day of more than 500 million weekly active users.
Altman’s comments highlight the unknown about AI and its rapid growth, with those pioneers in the insecure space about the detriment it could cause.
Last month, after the great interruption of Chatgpt, I wrote about how AI “really helps millions of people overcome life”, and although that seems to be the case, there is also a worrying number of people who use both the technology that they cannot deal with life without him.
During that 10 -hour switch, I received emails from Chatgpt users who had not written emails in months without the help of AI, I used technology to help with their online appointments, and even a user who told me that they needed chatgpt to help them sleep.
Now, Altman wants to emphasize his concern about the use of AI by the population. “Something about deciding collectively we are going to live our lives in the way Ai tells us that it feels bad and dangerous,” he says.
Sam, you can’t have your cake and eat it
In this industry in rapid evolution, we are seeing an innovation rate that I do not think I have experienced in my 30 years on this planet. Almost daily, the new AI software breaks glass roofs, which works exponentially better than the previous versions.
Openai’s innovation in space has been a great driving force in the estimated net assets of $ 1.8 billion Altman, but is now starting to worry about the people who use it?
The space of AI is largely not regulated, from ai image generation tools with copyright to chatbots such as Grok hallucinating in some of the worst possible forms (I will not get into that here).
That said, the rate at which companies like OpenAi are releasing products means that they are providing powerful tools to users without truly knowing how they will have an impact on people’s lives.
I agree with Altman in the sense that we are becoming too dependent on AI and Chatgpt in particular, but a technological billionaire that benefits from this excessive dependence has the right to say now that they are afraid? It does not seem to me.
