It is easy to point to loopy theories around superalignment, p(doom), etc. But you don't have to be hopped up on sci-fi to oppose something like GPT-4o. Low-latency response time is fine. The faking of emotions and overt references to Her (along with the suspiciously-timed relaxation of pornographic generations) are not fine. I suspect Altman/Brockman/Murati intended for this thing to be dangerous for mentally unwell users, using the exact same logic as tobacco companies.

I don't understand what you're referring to with that tobacco reference.

  A larger proportion of people diagnosed with mental disorders report cigarette smoking compared with people without mental disorders. Among US adults in 2019, the percentage who reported past-month cigarette smoking was 1.8 times higher for those with any past-year mental illness than those without (28.2% vs. 15.8%). Smoking rates are particularly high among people with serious mental illness (those who demonstrate greater functional impairment). While estimates vary, as many as 70-85% of people with schizophrenia and as many as 50-70% of people with bipolar disorder smoke.

I am accusing OpenAI (and Phillip Morris) of knowingly profiting off mental illness by providing unhealthy solutions to loneliness, stress, etc.

I’ve also heard of studies, admittedly I don’t have the link on hand, that schizophrenic patients benefit from smoking. When did big tobacco actively target them? How do you know these people don’t naturally seek out cigarettes as a means to manage some of their symptoms?
