"In any given week, 0.15 percent of users “indicate potentially heightened levels of emotional attachment to ChatGPT” More than 800 million people use ChatGPT every week. That’s 1.2 million people developing a potentially unhealthy bond to a chatbot" #AIEthics www.platformer.news/openai-menta...

Postdoc! “Recipients may conduct research in any discipline in the College: natural, quantitative, and social sciences, humanistic inquiry, the creative arts, and emerging fields that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries.”
