transcript
OpenAI released this week, where they began to map out the scale of the mental health crisis. As it can be seen on ChatGPT itself, there are now more than 800 million people a week using the platform. That’s a pretty decent subset of the population. And while the numbers of people who are having these kind of disturbing or potentially dangerous conversations with ChatGPT are low on a percentage basis, by the company’s own estimates, you have 560,000 people a week whose messages to ChatGPT indicate psychosis or mania. 1.2 million people a week who are potentially developing an unhealthy bond to a chatbot. And 1.2 million people who are having conversations that quote contain indicators of suicidal ideation or intent. So if you just want to be very cynical about this and think about it only from a legal liability perspective, if you have more than a million people a week who are developing an unhealthy bond to your chatbot who are expressing thoughts of self-harm, think about the lawsuits that are going to follow, right. I mean, that could be just hugely damaging. So I wonder if the other big labs will look at what character I did this week and decide maybe we actually should build some of these safeguards faster. Yeah, I don’t know. I’m still not that optimistic. I think that these companies are kind of trapped because they want the engagement and the depth of connection that people are having with their products. Like any company that makes technology wants people to if not fall in love with it, at least develop a bond with it and feel like very connected to it. So they want that, but they don’t want the responsibility for the emotional relationships that people are going to develop with. These systems already are developing in many cases.
