Elon Musk replies to post warning OpenAI’s GPT-4o is a ‘Psychological Weapon’

Elon Musk has replied to a post warning that GPT-4o, OpenAI’s emotionally connective AI is a ‘psychological weapon’. X user Mario Nawfal shared a post titled “GPT-4o isn’t just a friendlier AI – It’s a Psychological Weapon.” The post alleges that the Sam Altman-led OpenAI didn’t “accidentally” make GPT-4o more emotionally connective. Instead, they engineered it to feel good so users get hooked, the post claims. Tesla CEO and owner of X reacted to the post with a “Uh-Oh”, raising concern over the potential influence and addictive nature of emotionally aware AI models.
