Negative consequences of excessive use of chatgpt

A new study by Mit Media Lab in collaboration with the Openai company reveals the worrying consequences of excessive use of artificial intelligence.

The researchers followed about 1,000 people for four weeks and found that users often relying on chatgpt for generating ideas and problem solving can develop an emotional dependence on this technology. According to researchers, users who often use chatgt for unindividualized conversations, including seeking advice, conceptual explanations and helping ideas that is one of the most frequent ways of use are more likely to become emotionally dependent on this technology.

Particularly worrying is that these users often develop problematic use, which researchers define as addiction and compulsive behavior that leads to negative consequences for physical and psychososial well -being. These users are also more likely to see chatgpt as a friend, have a high level of trust in him and believe that chatbot takes care of their emotions. The author of the study points out that future research can consider whether this leads to some kind of cognitive dependence, where users are increasingly relying on the systems for making decisions and solving problems, potentially leading to the loss of independence and confidence in their decisions.

Although among the researchers and he is confident that technology will improve, not replace human employees, the competition for artificial intelligence creates such a dilemma. Employees are afraid they will remain behind colleagues if they do not use technology enough, but if they use it a lot, they risk losing their sense of identity. The ideal would be to achieve a balance between human creativity and artificial intelligence, which would produce something greater than the sum of its parts. However, this study clearly shows that moderation remains a virtue even in the artificial intelligence era. A Norwegian has filed a complaint after Chatgpt fake him that he had killed two of his sons and was imprisoned for 21 years. Arve Halopi Holmen has contacted the Norwegian Data Protection Authority and has requested that Chatbot maker, Opennai, be fined. Holmen says this is very harmful to her
