OpenAI study reveals something strange happening with people’s emotional well-being when using too much ChatGPT

ChatGPT has been synonymous with artificial intelligence (AI) for many people, not just as a generative AI (GenAI). Users utilize it to ask questions, write essays, create travel plans, solve problems, and more, for both personal and professional purposes. While these applications are beneficial, a new question arises: How do these interactions affect their users’ emotional well-being?

Meanwhile, the PC Game Pass subscription is also getting a price hike of USD11.99 starting September from the current price of USD9.99. This is terrible news even for subscribers in the Philippines as the current Php119/mo local price will increase to Php175/mo once the changes take effect.

Microsoft will also launch a new Xbox Game Pass Standard subscription tier. It will cost USD14.99 (~Php875) per month for the new users and won’t come with day-one titles. Existing users can still use their Xbox Game Pass for Console subscriptions.

The new Standard tier gains online console multiplayer, which the Xbox Game Pass for Console didn’t have.

Current subscribers of the Xbox Game Pass for Console can stack for up to 13 months from September 18, but it will not affect existing stacks.
