OpenAI is developing new tools for building AI agents and has invested in CoreWeave. Additionally, a recent study conducted by OpenAI and MIT's Media Lab suggests a potential link between AI chatbot usage and increased loneliness. The study analyzed "over 40 million ChatGPT interactions" and found that increased ChatGPT use can lead to "heightened loneliness and reduced socialization."
The study also highlights that users who develop a deeper trust in ChatGPT may become more emotionally dependent on it. Interestingly, the study found that the possibility of becoming emotionally dependent on the tool was lessened when ChatGPT spoke. It is important to note that neither study has been peer reviewed yet, and both cover relatively short periods. However, OpenAI acknowledges that "This research provides a starting point for further studies that can increase transparency, and encourage responsible usage and development of AI platforms across the industry."
