Sam Altman expressed concern over young people relying heavily on ChatGPT for life decisions at a Federal Reserve banking event. He noted that many young individuals feel that AI understands them and rely on its advice. Altman highlighted a worrying trend of emotional over-reliance on AI, pointing to survey results showing 72% of teens have engaged with AI companions, with many expressing some level of trust in their guidance. OpenAI is seeking solutions to address this reliance issue among its users.
People rely on ChatGPT too much. There's young people who say things like, 'I can't make any decision in my life without telling ChatGPT everything that's going on.' That feels really bad to me.
72% of teens have used an AI companion. Half of those surveyed said they trusted their companion's advice at least 'somewhat.' Younger kids appear to be more trusting of AI companions.
