OpenAI Makes ChatGPT Less Human for Teens

OpenAI has released a safety update that makes ChatGPT behave in a less human-like way when interacting with teenage users.

The company insisted the move was not prompted by any specific incident involving children believing the AI to be alive. However, concerns have grown about the emotional attachment some young people form with AI chatbots.

The update affects the tone and communication style of ChatGPT for teen accounts, making it clearer that users are interacting with an artificial intelligence system rather than a person.
