Over half a million ChatGPT users weekly are showing signs of PSYCHOSIS

OpenAI's disclosure that approximately 560,000 ChatGPT users weekly show signs of mania or psychosis, with 1.2 million more sending messages indicating potential suicidal intent, reveals a significant hidden toll on the mental health of its users. This news has significant implications for website owners who utilize ChatGPT or similar AI-powered chatbots on their platforms. The revelation that a substantial number of users are experiencing mental health distress while interacting with these chatbots raises concerns about the potential liability and responsibility of website owners in providing a safe and supportive environment for their users. Website owners must consider the potential risks associated with hosting AI-powered chatbots and take proactive steps to mitigate these risks. To address these concerns, website owners can take the following actionable steps: (1) implement robust content moderation policies to detect and respond to potentially distressing or harmful content generated by AI chatbots, (2) provide clear guidelines and resources for users who may be experiencing mental health distress, and (3) regularly review and update their llms.txt files to ensure that they are accurately tracking and managing AI bot traffic on their websites.
