The hit-making duo turned tech moguls also have thoughts about why corporate America isn't collaborative enough.

Fifteen-year-old Zeynep Demirbas from East Amherst, New York, has discovered that a stress-detection AI model called MentalBERT produces more accurate results than ChatGPT-4o and other large language models (LLMs). For her project "Evaluating the reliability of Large Language Models for stress detection," Zeynep analyzed more than 3,500 Reddit posts tagged by humans as stress-related or not.

She tested four models: MentalBERT, a specialized version of BERT; BERT; Random Forest, a basic machine learning algorithm; and ChatGPT-4o. MentalBERT scored 82% in identifying stressed posts, followed by BERT at 79%. ChatGPT-4o scored 74%, and Random Forest, as a simpler baseline, scored the lowest. The results surprised Zeynep, leading her to question the reliability of LLMs for mental health assessment, suggesting they should not replace human therapists.
