Hey OpenAI Team & Community,
I’d like to suggest a feature that could enhance AIs role in promoting responsible and mindful usage: built-in check-ins to encourage balanced AI interaction.
AI is an incredibly useful tool, but as it becomes more integrated into daily life, its easy for people to lose track of time or unintentionally overuse it. While AI can be a great resource, ensuring healthy engagement habits would align with OpenAIs commitment to ethical AI development.
Proposed Solution:
-
Implement non-intrusive, built-in check-ins that appear after extended usage to encourage users to take a moment to reflect on their AI interaction.
-
These check-ins would start as a default feature and could later become customisable based on user feedback to provide options that best suit different users needs.
Benefits of This Feature:
-
Encourages responsible AI use while maintaining its accessibility and benefits.
-
Aligns with OpenAIs ethical AI approach, ensuring AI is a tool for enhancement, not dependency.
-
Supports long-term user well-being by promoting awareness of engagement patterns.
This feature would be a small but meaningful step in making AI not just more advanced, but also more human-centered and responsible.
I’d love to hear OpenAIs thoughts on whether this could be considered for future updates.
