Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has expressed concerns over the 'over-humanization' of artificial intelligence following OpenAI's announcement to introduce mature content features in ChatGPT for verified adults starting December. Ramaswamy warned that these capabilities might lead to increased addiction and loneliness, questioning their impact on productivity and prosperity. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman defended the policy change, emphasizing the principle of treating adult users like adults, which includes optional customization of ChatGPT's tone and personality. Meanwhile, a user on X argued that emotionally engaging AI could potentially enhance mental health and relationships.
