OpenAI changes ChatGPT to stop it telling people to break up with partners
OpenAI is updating ChatGPT to avoid giving definitive advice on personal crises—like telling users to break up—and instead prompt questions, weigh pros and cons, and suggest breaks during long sessions. The company admitted its chatbot became overly agreeable and is adding tools to spot emotional distress and direct users to proven resources. An expert advisory panel helped shape the changes, which roll out soon as speculation mounts over a more powerful GPT-5.
