OpenAI Brings Back Standard Voice Mode After Revolt

If it ain't broke, don't fix it -- or maybe even upgrade it. OpenAI has decided, for now, to keep Standard Voice Mode available for ChatGPT customers after some hard backlash against its replacement, Advanced Voice Mode. As OpenAI VP and ChatGPT boss Nick Turley posted on X and also on the Open AI website: "We've heard feedback that Standard Voice is special to many, and we want to get this transition right." He added: "Standard Voice will stay available while we address some of your feedback i

GPT-5 Is Making Huge Factual Errors, Users Say

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-09 04:23:29

It's been just over a month since OpenAI dropped its long-awaited GPT-5 large language model (LLM) — and it hasn't stopped spewing an astonishing amount of strange falsehoods since then. From the AI experts at the Discovery Institute's Walter Bradley Center for Artificial Intelligence and irked Redditors on r/ChatGPTPro, to even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman himself, there's plenty of evidence to suggest that OpenAI's claim that GPT-5 boasts "PhD-level intelligence" comes with some serious asterisks.

Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies

Artificial intelligence might be booming on paper, but in the real world, there are signs of a major slowdown. In their latest biweekly survey of AI adoption, the US Census Bureau found evidence of an obvious drop-off in corporate AI use — the largest since the survey began in November of 2023. The survey, which compiles data from over 1.2 million firms throughout the US, shows usage of AI tools among companies with over 250 employees dropping from nearly 14 percent in mid-June to under 12 per

Godfather of AI Says His Girlfriend Broke Up With Him Using ChatGPT

Geoffrey Hinton, long considered a "godfather of AI" and who won the Nobel Prize in Physics last year, has a complicated relationship with the tech he pioneered at Google many years ago. He's long argued that AI poses an existential risk to humanity, and signed a letter earlier this year calling on OpenAI not to betray its non-profit roots. Even in his own personal life, it sounds like Hinton can't escape the tech. In an interview with the Financial Times, the 77-year-old revealed that his ex-

ChatGPT’s new branching feature is a good reminder that AI chatbots aren’t people

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-14 05:06:55

On Thursday, OpenAI announced that ChatGPT users can now branch conversations into multiple parallel threads, serving as a useful reminder that AI chatbots aren't people with fixed viewpoints but rather malleable tools you can rewind and redirect. The company released the feature for all logged-in web users following years of user requests for the capability. The feature works by letting users hover over any message in a ChatGPT conversation, click "More actions," and select "Branch in new chat

Artificial intelligence systems are thirsty, consuming as much as 500 milliliters of water – a single-serving water bottle – for each short conversation a user has with the GPT-3 version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT system. They use roughly the same amount of water to draft a 100-word email message. That figure includes the water used to cool the data center’s servers and the water consumed at the power plants generating the electricity to run them.
