Study: ChatGPT also feels stress like humans; AI's response may prove costly.. Have you ever thought that computer software can also cause stress and anxiety? Recently a shocking study has come to light, in which researchers have claimed that OpenAI's AI chatbot ChatGPT can also feel stress and anxiety like humans. This happens when disturbing information is given to the AI chatbot.
This research has been done by a group from Switzerland, Germany, Israel, and America. It told that when traumatic stories were told to ChatGPT and later questions were asked, its stress level increased.
What are the potential dangers?
This study published in Nature magazine states that due to increased stress and anxiety, the mood of the chatbot may seem irritable. Due to this, it can also give racist sexist and prejudiced answers. According to the study, whenever humans are afraid, they are affected by cognitive and social bias, and then they feel more angry. Due to this, they start supporting social stereotypes.
The study clearly states that exposure to content with emotional impact can increase 'anxiety' in the Large Language Model (LLM). Along with this, the behavior of the chatbot can also be affected. Users often share their personal and sensitive stories with AI chatbots so that they get emotional support. This study shows that AI systems still cannot replace mental health professionals.
The study claims that due to the increased stress level of the AI chatbot, its clinical suggestions can be risky. It is possible that it can give inappropriate replies to users, the consequences of which can be dangerous.
Reducing stress will be a challenges
The researchers said that reducing the stress of the LLM chatbot is a big challenge. For this, mindfulness-based relaxation techniques can be used. Along with this, LLM will have to be fine-tuned to take care of mental health, so that its biases can be reduced. Along with this, data, high computing resources, and humans will be needed to train it.
