OpenAI Employees Discover After Integrating ChatGPT with Slack: People Are More Willing to Help Humans Than AI

OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman revealed that many OpenAI employees discovered a phenomenon after integrating ChatGPT into Slack: when a colleague's ChatGPT proactively contacts them to request help, people show significant resistance, even though they would be very willing to assist if the colleague themselves asked directly for the same task. Brockman believes this confirms the value of interpersonal relationships and mutual help, emphasizing that AI should return time to humans or enhance the time spent together, rather than becoming a barrier that separates interpersonal relationships.
