Turning to ChatGPT for emotional support may not be the best idea for a very simple reason, according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Speaking on a recent podcast appearance, Altman warned that AI chatbots aren't held to the same kind of legal confidentiality as a human doctor or therapist is.
“People use it — young people, especially, use it — as a therapist, a life coach; having these relationship problems and [asking] ‘what should I do?’" Altman said in a recent episode of This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von.
