OpenAI has updated the rules for ChatGPT, meaning the AI will no longer provide guidance on some sensitive areas.

1. What Has Changed?

Previously, ChatGPT could provide general guidance on topics like:

· Legal matters

· Financial decisions

· health and medical advice

Now, the company has restricted the AI from offering advice in these areas due to risks of misinformation and potential harm.

2. Why This Change Was Made

· Risk of Losses: Users sometimes followed AI advice without consulting professionals, leading to financial or legal consequences.

· Accuracy Concerns: While AI is powerful, it may misinterpret complex regulations or personal situations.

· Safety and Responsibility: OpenAI wants users to rely on qualified professionals for critical decisions.

3. What ChatGPT Can Still Do

While ChatGPT can’t provide direct advice, it can still:

· Explain concepts in law, finance, or health

· Provide general knowledge or resources

· Guide users on how to find professional help

Example: Instead of telling you which investment to make, ChatGPT can explain different investment options and their risks.

4. How Users Should Proceed

· For legal, financial, or medical matters, always consult licensed professionals.

· Use AI for learning, research, or planning, not final decision-making.

· Treat AI guidance as informational only, not a substitute for expert advice.

Conclusion

This change reflects a growing awareness of the limits of AI. While ChatGPT remains a valuable tool for learning and research, critical decisions must still be made with human expertise.

AI is a powerful assistant—but it’s not a replacement for professional judgment.
