Buuuuulshit
Open AI needs people to be as addicted as possible as it uses the Facebook model of business only with N times the investment behind it so it needs users to use more at any cost, and these CEO's being the psychopaths that they are, they don't give a shit about things like consequences
This is like any matchmaking app genuinely attempting to match you with "the one" through AI, algorithms, science, etc so when you meet the perfect person you stop giving the app money.
I got lucky and married my fuck buddy that I met on Tinder. But that is not a good business plan. Why would OpenAI drive people to stop using their product.
I'm a functional alcoholic. Last I checked booze companies aren't reaching out to me to stop buying booze because they care about my personal health or mental wellbeing....
I mean, what are the odds that the statement was composed by an AI?
Companies only care about money.
