ChatGPT boss claims to have now 'mitigated' mental health issues with AI and will relax the restrictions

Sam Altman with ChatGPT on phone.

OpenAI just can’t seem to get it right when it comes to ChatGPT’s personality. Since the launch of GPT-4, the model has been made friendlier, then meaner, then way too friendly, and now, it is sat somewhere in the middle. However, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is announcing another big change, and this could be its most dramatic personality change yet.

“We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue, we wanted to get this right,” Altman posted on X.
