Patients Furious at Therapists Secretly Using AI

With artificial intelligence integrating — or infiltrating — into every corner of our lives, some less-than-ethical mental health professionals have begun using it in secret, causing major trust issues for the vulnerable clients who pay them for their sensitivity and confidentiality. As MIT Technology Review reports, therapists have used OpenAI's ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) for everything from email and message responses to, in one particularly egregious case, suggesting ques

I pay for Google Gemini, but GPT-5 has convinced me to switch to ChatGPT and here’s why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-12 22:00:51

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority ChatGPT has become the Xerox of the AI world, but OpenAI no longer has the stage to itself. Google has been pushing Gemini deeper into its ecosystem, and every few weeks it feels like another rival pops up with promises of being faster, smarter, or more useful. So when the latest GPT-5 model launched last month, it felt like a release OpenAI couldn’t afford to get wrong.

Ordering a pizza online is wildly more interesting when AI does it. When OpenAI announced ChatGPT Agent, an AI-powered tool that handles complex tasks from start to finish, I didn't fully understand its capabilities. OpenAI says it can be your personal assistant, but that means little to someone who's never had one. I imagine if I did have a personal assistant, I might ask them to order me a pizza.

While these safeguards work best in common, short exchanges, we’ve learned over time that they can sometimes become less reliable in long interactions where parts of the model’s safety training may degrade,” an OpenAI spokesperson told Gizmodo.
