OpenAI has expressed concerns about users potentially becoming overly reliant on ChatGPT's new human-sounding voice mode, which could lead to emotional dependence and reduced human interaction. The AI's lifelike responses and ability to gauge emotional states have sparked comparisons to the AI in the film "Her," raising ethical questions. OpenAI's safety review highlights the risk of users forming social bonds with the AI, which could affect real-life relationships and trust in the tool despite its inaccuracies. Experts emphasize the responsibility of tech companies to navigate these developments ethically, as the implications of AI on social norms and human communication are still not fully understood. OpenAI remains committed to studying and mitigating these risks to ensure safe AI usage.
