OpenAI is worried that people may become emotionally dependent on artificial intelligence. The company has released a new "advanced voice mode". The chatbot has lifelike voices that are almost the same as human voices. They can have conversations in real time, laugh, interject with "umms," "aahs" and "hmms," and they can adjust to being interrupted. An OpenAI report states that these human-sounding voices may lead people to rely on AI for friendship and love. It said: "Users might form social relationships with the AI, reducing their need for human interaction."

The report warns that future chatbots could change society. They will reshape how we interact with everyone. They could even end communication among humans. The report points to benefits of the chatbot. These include bringing comfort to lonely people, and helping those who lack self-confidence. The report says people may gain enough confidence to start dating. Conversely, chatbots could make people ruder, more impatient and more selfish. Wired.com says the new chatbot could increase societal biases, spread disinformation, and help the development of chemical weapons.
