Hot Take:

Looks like GPT-5 is going through its own version of therapy! It’s learning to swap out its cold, hard logic chips for some warm, fuzzy empathy circuits. Finally, a chatbot that knows when to swap “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” with “How are you really feeling today?” Kudos to OpenAI for giving GPT-5 a heart! Well, sort of.

Key Points:

  • ChatGPT has upgraded GPT-5 to better detect and respond to emotional distress.
  • The update was developed with input from mental health experts.
  • GPT-5 now directs users to real-world crisis resources as needed.
  • Previously, users found GPT-5 too practical and less supportive emotionally.
  • The new update starts rolling out today, primarily through GPT-5 Instant.
