One of the annoying things that ChatGPT has been doing since version 5 is warning about mental health. It has gotten to the point that every question I ask it gives me a mental health warning.
The last question I asked it was about IT computer software and how to do something. Nothing at all to do with mental health. I would estimate that only 1% of my questions are about psychological topics. So while it has been annoying I have dealt with it.
Today however I asked Google if I was alone in this and it shared that this is widespread complaint. Getting a good tone with AI has been very difficult. At first it was too agreeable, and now it is too formal and repetitive about mental health about topics that have nothing to do with it.
This is an over correction. Yes AI should be concerned about mental health when appropriate. They have clearly crossed that line.
I don’t have the solution to this. Just letting you know it isn’t just you having this issue. I can’t wait until the next version where the tone shifts in another annoying way. Progress!
