Why is the story “War may be coming. Are we psychologically ready?” and not “War may be coming. Shouldn’t we change this horrific violent system entirely?”

If you have been following the GPT-5 rollout, one thing you might be
noticing is how much of an attachment some people have to specific Al
models. It feels different and stronger than the kinds of attachment
people have had to previous kinds of technology (and so suddenly
deprecating old models that users depended on in their workflows was a
mistake).
This is something we’ve been closely tracking for the past year or so but
still hasn’t gotten much mainstream attention (other than when we
released an update to GPT-40 that was too sycophantic).
(This is just my current thinking, and not yet an official OpenAl position.)
People have used technology including Al in self-destructive ways; if a
user is in a mentally fragile state and prone to delusion, we do not want
the Al to reinforce that. Most users can keep a clear line between reality
and fiction or role-play, but a small percentage cannot. We value user
freedom as a core principle, but we also feel responsible in how we
introduce new technology with new risks.
Encouraging delusion in a user that is having trouble telling the
difference between reality and fiction is an extreme case and it’s pretty
clear what to do, but the concerns that worry me most are more subtle.
There are going to be a lot of edge cases, and generally we plan to follow
the principle of “treat adult users like adults”, which in some cases will
include pushing back on users to ensure they are getting what they really
want](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:w2rl3wp45kp4xxw7gabzkbns/bafkreifkyzxw5si5ppo5xvfeu2uqikin3v7unogu6277dpdaowpfb5vh3m)
![If people are getting good advice, leveling up toward their own goals, and
their life satisfaction is increasing over years, we will be proud of making
something genuinely helpful, even if they use and rely on ChatGPT a lot.
If, on the other hand, users have a relationship with ChatGPT where they
think they feel better after talking but they’re unknowingly nudged away
from their longer term well-being (however they define it), that’s bad. It’s
also bad, for example, if a user wants to use ChatGPT less and feels like
they cannot.
| can imagine a future where a lot of people really trust ChatGPT’s advice
for their most important decisions. Although that could be great, it
makes me uneasy. But | expect that it is coming to some degree, and
soon billions of people may be talking to an Al in this way. So we (we as
in society, but also we as in OpenAl) have to figure out how to make it a
big net positive.
There are several reasons | think we have a good shot at getting this
right. We have much better tech to help us measure how we are doing
than previous generations of technology had. For example, our product
can talk to users to get a sense for how they are doing with their short-
and long-term goals, we can explain sophisticated and nuanced issues
to our models, and much more.
