Quoting Greg Brockman
Simon Willison Simon Willison
OpenAI's president Greg Brockman observed that people object when ChatGPT instances integrated with Slack contact colleagues for help, even if they'd willingly assist if asked directly. The observation underscores that people prioritize human relationships and expect AI to return time to them or enhance human interaction rather than mediate it. This suggests products should be designed to strengthen rather than replace direct human connection.
Why it matters
at openai, many people hook their chatgpt up to slack. people really don't like when a coworker's chatgpt contacts them asking for help with a task, even when they'd be perfectly happy doing that same work if asked by that coworker. reinforces how much people care about human relationships and helping each other, and want AI to give time back — or enhance time together — rather than become a layer separating people. — Greg Brockman, President and Co-Founder, OpenAI Tags: ai-ethics, ai-misuse, generative-ai, openai, ai, llms
