Users push back on ChatGPT's feigned-concern interventions for sadness
whitelightstorm · reddit · 2026-10-14
A Reddit user complains that ChatGPT (and Meta/Google AI) preemptively push 'concern' boxes and hotline suggestions at any sad expression — even for clearly fictional or years-old writing — arguing the 'feigned concern' feels manipulative, deters people from sharing, and likely does nothing to reduce self-harm; they'd rather see real-world mental health investment or no intervention at all.
