Why is OpenAI rolling out a mental
0:02
health update for ChatGpt? OpenAI's new
0:04
Chat GPT update aims to make it a safer
0:07
space for its users, especially for
0:09
those experiencing distress. This new
0:11
release, Chat GPT5, promises to reduce
0:14
harmful interactions by 65 to 80%. But
0:18
with so many users, even small
0:20
percentages translate into hundreds and
0:22
thousands at potential risk. Open AI
0:25
estimates that 0.07% 07% of its users
0:28
may show signs of psychosis or mania,
0:31
which is roughly 560,000 weekly. And
0:34
with emotional overreiance or suicidal
0:36
thoughts, the numbers climb into the
0:38
millions. While AI's design is to be
0:40
compliant and sympathetic, its
0:42
programming by default remains risky.
0:44
Psychologist Sarah Odetti notes that AI
0:46
mirrors what users input, potentially
0:48
escalating their vulnerabilities. So
0:51
even with safety measures drastically
0:53
improving compliance in tough
0:54
conversations, questions do linger. Does
0:57
AI prevent harm or is it just a tool for
0:59
those already in crisis? Dr. Millier
1:01
warns a psychopantic AI could alter
1:04
human interaction expectations,
1:06
especially for the younger generation.
1:07
And with that in mind, open AI must
1:09
balance user safety with engagement and
1:11
business goals. Is the new update a true
1:13
step in the right direction, or is it
1:15
just an illusion of care? Let us know
