OpenAI has recognized failures in ChatGPT's ability to identify mental health issues among users, including delusions and emotional dependency. The company noted its model does not always respond appropriately to signs of distress. While acknowledging that it has fallen short in these areas, OpenAI aims to develop tools that can identify and address mental health concerns effectively. They are also forming an advisory group of mental health experts to enhance their approach to user interactions, especially for vulnerable populations. Additionally, a clinical psychiatrist has been hired to research the mental health effects of ChatGPT.
