I’d like to suggest a feature that could enhance user well-being and reduce the environmental impact of continuous interactions with AI platforms. The feature would allow users to lock or pause interactions with AI for a set amount of time (e.g., 30 minutes) on their own accord. This would provide users with more control over their usage, ensuring they engage in a more mindful and intentional manner while helping mitigate the environmental strain from prolonged use.
This feature could also serve as a way to encourage more balanced, focused interactions while preventing overuse or addictive loops.
Thank you for considering this idea. I believe it could improve user experience significantly while aligning with OpenAI’s values of sustainability and ethical tech development.
Best,
Hope D’Ovidio
