Emotional ties to AI? OpenAI warns of new risks with ChatGPT Voice Mode

Sam Altman’s OpenAI has raised concerns about the potential emotional attachment users may develop with its recently launched Voice Mode feature for ChatGPT. This warning was detailed in the company’s “System Card” for GPT-4o, a comprehensive document that examines the potential risks and safeguards associated with the AI model. Among the various risks identified, the possibility of users anthropomorphizing the chatbot—attributing human-like characteristics to it—has emerged as a significant concern.
