OpenAI has updated Chat GPT to provide more thoughtful responses to sensitive questions, such as relationship advice, by encouraging users to weigh pros and cons rather than offering direct answers. The changes aim to prevent unhealthy interactions and improve the chatbot's ability to recognize concerning behavior.

OpenAI Refines Chat GPT: A New Approach to Sensitive Questions
If you ask Chat GPT whether you should break up with your partner, you will no longer receive a direct answer. Instead, the chatbot will help you reason through the decision.
OpenAI has implemented a series of adjustments and changes to its chatbot, Chat GPT. According to a blog post, OpenAI reveals that Chat GPT now includes break reminders to prevent users from engaging in unhealthily long conversations with the chatbot.
Chat GPT is also becoming more cautious when it comes to answering life-changing questions. According to OpenAI, Chat GPT will no longer provide definitive answers to questions like whether one should end a relationship. Instead, it will assist users by reasoning through the issue and weighing pros and cons.
"It's Not Always Right"
OpenAI also admits that its models have struggled to identify concerning behavior from users, an issue the company is now addressing. Chatbots have faced criticism for sometimes fostering unhealthy relationships with users. Some politicians have argued for stricter regulations in this area.
"It's not always right," writes OpenAI, acknowledging that its AI model often says "what sounds good" rather than "what is most helpful." OpenAI reports that it has collaborated with over 90 doctors in 30 countries to improve Chat GPT.
