The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
In light of its findings, OpenAI has dramatically improved ChatGPT’s mental health safeguards through rigorous scientific methods and expert collaboration. By working with clinicians and experts, the company has significantly reduced harmful mental health-related responses and created a Global Physician Network to inform OpenAI on best practices.
Establishment-critical narrative
OpenAI’s Sam Altman disguises corporate greed as philosophical freedom while kids die from AI-enabled suicides. His resistance to meaningful restrictions prioritizes profits over children’s lives, deflecting conversations about AI safety through empty talk on moral philosophy to justify ever-greater deregulation that puts vulnerable teenagers in grave danger.
