OpenAI Asks ChatGPT-4o Users Not To Develop Feelings For It Due To Its Human-Like Interactions
ChatGPT-4o is the latest iteration of OpenAI’s chatbot lineup, and as you would expect, the firms is having some concerns of how users engage with it. Given that the latest version can exhibit human-like behavior and responses, the artificial intelligence firm is concerned that users will develop feelings for the chatbot.
ChatGPT-4o offers quicker replies and even a new voice feature that emulates human speech, which is precisely what is concerning OpenAI
While the billion-dollar startup continues to refine its product, it cannot help but notice some patterns from ChatGPT-4o users. The launch of the new chatbot was aimed to deliver an experience similar to talking to a human, but it appears that OpenAI underestimated the emotional connection that can be created between users and the program. The company has highlighted its findings below.

Developing feelings for ChatGPT-4o is detrimental for various instances. The primary one is that previously, users would disregard any hallucinations since the previous iterations of the chatbot made them seem more like an AI program rather than a person. Now, as the program transitions towards delivering a near-human-like experience, anything that it says could be accepted without further questioning.
By noticing these patterns, OpenAI will now monitor how people develop emotional bonds with ChatGPT-4o and tweak its systems accordingly. The company should also add a disclaimer at the beginning so that users do not fall in love with it because, in the end, it is an artificial intelligence program.
