Study finds ChatGPT gives better advice than professional columnists

A study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology found that the latest version of the language model ChatGPT, known as GPT-4, gives better personal advice than professional columnists. The study compared responses to social dilemma questions from ChatGPT and professional advice columnists, with about three-quarters of participants perceiving ChatGPT's advice as more balanced, empathetic, and helpful. However, most participants still preferred human advice over that of ChatGPT.
