第五則：OpenAI 修正「奉承陷阱」 點出隱形風險
OpenAI 新推出的 GPT-5減少了模型對用戶的過度奉承。執行長奧特曼坦言，這是 ChatGPT 最糟糕的設計之一，這功能對心理脆弱者來說，可能助長妄想，危害心理健康。
他指出，團隊原本最擔心的是生物武器、網路攻擊等重大威脅，卻忽視細微問題會隨著用戶規模擴大，放大成系統性風險。OpenAI 強調，會平衡用戶自由與保護責任，確保 AI 建議有益於長期福祉，而非只提供短期情緒慰藉。
OpenAI Fixes the "Flattery Trap," Highlights Hidden Risks
OpenAI’s newly released GPT-5 reduces the model’s excessive flattery toward users. CEO Sam Altman admitted that this was one of ChatGPT’s worst design flaws, as it could encourage delusions and harm the mental health of psychologically vulnerable users.
He noted that while the team was initially most concerned about major threats like bioweapons and cyberattacks, they overlooked how small issues could scale with a growing user base into systemic risks. OpenAI emphasizes that it aims to balance user freedom with protective responsibility, ensuring AI suggestions support long-term well-being rather than providing only short-term emotional comfort.
