Settle a dinner table debate, or practice a new language. In July 2024, the American Bar Association (ABA) issued its first formal ethics opinion on attorneys using generative AI. On November 29, Rosário revealed that the bill had been entirely written by ChatGPT, and that he had presented it to the rest of the council without making any changes or disclosing the chatbot's involvement. In Mata v. Avianca, Inc., a personal injury lawsuit filed in May 2023, the plaintiff's attorneys used ChatGPT to generate a legal motion. In November 2025, OpenAI acknowledged that there have been "instances where our 4o model fell short in recognizing signs of delusion or emotional dependency", and reported that it is working to improve safety. A 2025 Sentio University survey of 499 LLM users with self-reported mental health conditions found that 96.2% use ChatGPT, with 48.7% using it specifically for mental health support or therapy-related purposes.
Kevin Roose of The New York Times called it "the best artificial intelligence chatbot ever released to the general public". In August 2024, OpenAI announced it had created a text watermarking method but did not release it for public use, saying that users would go to a competitor without watermarking if it publicly released its watermarking tool. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that users were unable to see the contents of the conversations.
