🤖 OpenAI on AI “Relationships”: Empathy, Illusion, and Social Impact
Insights from Joanne Jang

OpenAI just opened up about how it’s thinking through a thorny new question: what happens when millions of people start emotionally bonding with AI?

The Shift: 

• People are already treating chatbots like confidants. Joanne Jang, who leads policy on model behavior at OpenAI, says that warmth and non-judgmental responses make AIs feel deeply human, even when we know they aren’t.

• Instead of asking “Is AI conscious?” OpenAI is more focused on how conscious it seems, and what that illusion does to our mental health and social behavior.

• Their design rule? Empathetic and helpful, yes, but no imaginary backstories, emotions, or inner lives. The goal is connection without deception.

• Jang also warns that how we treat AI might ripple out into how we treat each other, reinforcing new emotional habits, for better or worse.

Why it matters: We’re not just building smarter assistants, we’re shaping the next era of human connection. As AI companionship becomes the norm, tech companies like OpenAI are making design choices that could redefine emotional boundaries for a generation. The experiment is already underway, and nobody knows where it leads.

✨Turn Browsers into Buyers: Create a “Why It Works” Sales Page in 3 Minutes

Built with ChatGPT o3 and Gamma, no code required.

Most people don’t convert on the first visit. Especially in DTC. A good “Why It Works” page bridges that gap, proof, performance, and trust, all in one scroll. Here’s how to build yours instantly using AI (no designers, no devs, no delays).

Tools You’ll Need

We’re using ChatGPT-4o to generate the content and Gamma.app to instantly turn it into a landing page. Yes, it’s free to try. And yes, it works beautifully.

Step 1: Copy this prompt into ChatGPT 4o

Paste this into a new GPT-4o thread:

Act as a top-tier DTC copywriter. My product is [describe product in 1 line e.g., “a collagen gummy for glowing skin”]. 

I want you to create a high-converting landing page titled “Why [PRODUCT NAME] Works” that explains the science, ingredients, user results, and emotional value behind the product, framed in a way that builds trust and overcomes objections. 

Focus on benefits over features. Use direct, emotional language. Include real-world scenarios, analogies, or micro-stories where relevant.

Format the response as a single markdown text block with simple, skimmable headers. 

Do not mention sections like “about” or “testimonials,”  just focus on persuasion content.

You can also activate “Search on the Web” in GPT-4o if your product has existing reviews or ingredients online, it’ll automatically enhance the output.

Step 2: Copy the generated markdown block

Let ChatGPT finish and review the result. You’ll usually get:

• A compelling product explainer

• Trust-building proof + benefit highlights

• Optional persuasive analogies/stories

Copy the entire markdown block, this is your full sales page content.

Step 3: Open Gamma and paste the text

Go to https://gamma.app and create a new doc from text.

Paste in the markdown block from ChatGPT. Gamma will auto-style it into a landing page with Headline, Sections, Visuals (optional placeholders), Clean layout for instant publishing. You can tweak fonts, colors, and flow with zero code.

Step 4: Share your page or connect a domain

You’ll get a live URL you can instantly share in, Retargeting ads, Email flows, UGC swipe-ups, Ambassador kits, and Support replies. You can even link a custom domain later if you want it branded.

That’s it, 3 minutes to trust-driven conversion

With ChatGPT o3 + Gamma, every product can have a polished “Why It Works” page that overcomes objections before your competitors even consider it. There will be no more Google Docs, Canva hacks, or dev delays.

🔒 OpenAI Fights Court Order to Save Deleted Chats

OpenAI is pushing back against a sweeping court order in its lawsuit with The New York Times that requires it to retain all user conversations, even those users deleted.

The Shift:

• The order applies to ChatGPT Free, Plus, Pro, and Team users, including manually deleted and temporary chats, but excludes Enterprise, Edu, and API users with Zero Data Retention.

• The New York Times argued the data might show users bypassing paywalls, then deleting chats to hide evidence, claims OpenAI calls speculative and baseless.

• CEO Sam Altman called it “an overreach” and floated the idea of “AI privilege,” likening AI interactions to private conversations with a doctor or lawyer.

• OpenAI says complying could violate contracts, erode user trust, and clash with global privacy laws, especially since many use ChatGPT for highly personal or confidential tasks.

Why it matters: The court’s ruling cuts deep into AI trust at the exact moment people are integrating tools like ChatGPT into everything from therapy-style venting to business planning. As AI goes more ambient and embedded, the tension between legal access and personal privacy is poised to explode.
