About The Study: All 3 versions of ChatGPT tested in this study showed high rates of inappropriate or partially appropriate responses to psychotic prompts with overlapping confidence intervals. In the across-version analysis, GPT-5 did perform better than the free product that most users interact with. This is notable because individuals with psychosis risk may be overrepresented among the economically disadvantaged.
