Who's gonna use this? There are crazy people for everything...

We're building ChatGPT to help you reach your goals. Since ChatGPT launched, that's always meant coming to ask a question. There's magic in being able to simply ask and get answers to help you learn, create or solve problems. However that's limited by what you know to ask for and always puts the burden on you for the next step.
Today we're releasing a preview of ChatGPT Pulse to Pro users on mobile. Pulse is a new experience where ChatGPT proactively does research to deliver personalized updates based on your chats, feedback, and connected apps like your calendar. You can curate what ChatGPT researches by letting it know what’s useful and what isn’t. The research appears in Pulse as topical visual cards you can scan quickly or open for more detail, so each day starts with a new, focused set of updates.
This is the first step toward a more useful ChatGPT that proactively brings you what you need, helping you make more progress so you can get back to your life. We’ll learn and improve from early use before rolling it out to Plus, with the goal of making it available to everyone.

OpenAI really, really wants you to start your day with ChatGPT Pulse

ChatGPT’s new Pulse feature does personalized research on your behalf overnight and serves you up a digest each morning.
OpenAI’s latest personalization play for ChatGPT: You can now allow the chatbot to learn about you via your transcripts and phone activity (think: connected apps like your calendar, email, and Google Contacts), and based on that data, it’ll research things it thinks you’ll like and present you with a daily “pulse” on them.
The new mobile feature, called ChatGPT Pulse, is only available to Pro users for now, ahead of a broader rollout. The personalized research comes your way in the form of “topical visual cards you can scan quickly or open for more detail, so each day starts with a new, focused set of updates,” per the company. That can look like Formula One race updates, daily vocabulary lessons for a language you’re learning, menu advice for a dinner you’re attending that evening, and more.

Looks like it's going to use data they already have anyway, and the only new data you provide comes from the bit that says "by letting it know what’s useful and what isn’t".

Yes, it sounds like it's a feedback-activated algo similar to tiktok / spotify.

Challenge will be how Pulse decides relevance. An AI pushing “updates” that aren’t clearly tied to the user’s goals could quickly lose trust. Transparent settings, easy controls to guide the feed, and the ability to ask “why did you show me this?” would help maintain a sense of control.
If done well, this could evolve into an AI that quietly works in the background to surface opportunities, reminders, and research exactly when they matter almost like having an extra brain watching out for you.

I can see this having a really bad intensification of "AI psychosis"
