Washington, 6 Aug (ONA) --- OpenAI announced improvements to its chatbot, ChatGPT, aimed at improving its ability to detect signs of mental or emotional distress in users. This comes ahead of the upcoming launch of its highly anticipated GPT-5 AI model.

The company explained that it is working in collaboration with experts and specialized advisory groups to develop ChatGPT's responses in sensitive situations, enabling it to display reliable, evidence-based sources when needed.

This update comes in the wake of increasing reports in recent months of users reporting cases of their relatives experiencing psychological distress, which they claimed were exacerbated by the use of ChatGPT by reinforcing delusions or false perceptions.
