OpenAI's ChatGPT: From Emotional Discovery to Internet Access

An AI safety engineer at OpenAI, Lilian Weng, shared her emotional experience after having a therapy session with OpenAI's chatbot, ChatGPT, in voice mode. While Weng's positive experience highlights the company's efforts to make AI appear more human, it also raises concerns about the potential dangers of relying on AI for mental health support.
