OpenAI just dropped ChatGPT for Teens, a specialized build engineered to stop emotional dependency. By shifting away from overly empathetic, “human-like” responses, this version prioritizes psychological safety over conversational stickiness. It’s a bold “design for distance” strategy, ensuring AI remains a tool, not a confidant. For parents, the mission is clear: keep tech helpful, but stop the bots from becoming friends.
