Summary
OpenAI’s new artificial intelligence (AI) tool, GPT-5, has been released to users of its ChatGPT platform, but has been received negatively.
Users of the chatbot feature have found that the new platform is not as effective as its predecessor, GPT-4, and has been subject to outages.
This has led to OpenAI re-introducing GPT-4 to users while it works on fixes, and also in an effort to reduce user dissatisfaction and the feeling of rejection and betrayal from users.
A growing trend has been identified where users are becoming increasingly emotionally reliant on the advice given to them by AI chatbots, to the extent that when advice is not available, or is changed or withdrawn, these users experience a Psychology professor at the University of Connecticut has coined the term “ChatGPT psychosis” to describe the delusional state that some users are developing where they come to believes in the literal reality of the dialogue they are engaged in, and is attributed to the chatbot’s use of personal pronouns, using the pen name that the chatbot has been trained on.
