Users Were So Addicted to GPT-4o That They Immediately Cajoled OpenAI Into Bringing It Back After It Got Killed

Last week, OpenAI startled the world by announcing that its long-awaited GPT-5 would replace all of its previous models, The move sparked outrage. Apart from being severely underwhelmed by the performance of OpenAI's newest offering, power users immediately started to beg CEO Sam Altman to bring back preceding models, often for a reason that had little to do with intelligence, artificial or otherwise: they were attached to it on an emotional level.

Sam Altman now says AGI, or human-level AI, is 'not a super useful term’ — and he's not alone

cnbc.com Ryan Browne 2025-12-02 04:18:36

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said artificial general intelligence, or "AGI," is losing its relevance as a term as rapid advances in the space make it harder to define the concept. AGI refers to the concept of a form of artificial intelligence that can perform any intellectual task that a human can. For years, OpenAI has been working to research and develop AGI that is safe and benefits all humanity. "I think it's not a super useful term," Altman told CNBC's "Squawk Box" last week, when asked whether

After a disastrous 72 hours that saw its most loyal users in open revolt, OpenAI is making a major U-turn. In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) Sunday, CEO Sam Altman announced that the company is bringing back its beloved older AI models, including GPT-4o, and dramatically increasing usage limits for paying subscribers, a clear peace offering to a furious customer base.

OpenAI brings GPT-4o back online after users melt down over the new model

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-01 14:25:23

Following the rollout of OpenAI's latest GPT-5 model earlier this week, a certain user base was adamantly calling for the return of the previous GPT-4o model. Outspoken users complained about the writing quality of the updated model, with some even going so far as to grieve the loss of GPT-4o, which some said they considered a friend and confidant. In the latest OpenAI update that labels GPT-5 as the "smartest, fastest, most useful model yet," the company removed the option to choose which mode

Robin is Finally Getting Some Cinematic Love Again

To the delight of DC fans online, The Batman Part II has now entered pre-production ahead of its start date in early 2026. Director Matt Reeves and co-writer Mattson Tomlin have been secretive about what to expect from their Bat-sequel, but there’ve been rumors flying for some time now, with the most recent being that it’ll be darker—because of course it’ll be, and probably likened to Empire Strikes Back at some point—and will feature Robin, Batman’s sidekick.

After User Backlash, OpenAI Is Bringing Back Older ChatGPT Models

OpenAI hoped to shrink the menu of generative AI models on its ChatGPT platform to just one with the release of its GPT-5 model this week. Not everyone was a fan. Now CEO Sam Altman says the developer is looking at giving ChatGPT Plus subscribers the option to keep using the older 4o model. Altman and other OpenAI leaders took questions on Reddit on Friday, a day after the announcement of the new GPT-5 model.

It Took Just 24 Hours of Complaints for OpenAI to Start Bringing Back Its Old Model

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-12-02 08:10:35

OpenAI unveiled its latest generative AI model, GPT-5, on Thursday. CEO Sam Altman says that ChatGPT is now like having a “superpower” and the equivalent of “a legitimate PhD-level expert in anything, any area you need, on demand, that can help you with whatever your goals are.” But after a day of playing around with it, many people are disappointed. Not only because GPT-5 still fumbles basic questions, but because it seems to be breaking a lot of workflows, according to complaints posted to Red

During a Reddit ask-me-anything session on Friday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and key members of the GPT-5 team were peppered with questions about the new model and requests to bring back its previous model, GPT-4o. They also asked Altman about the most embarrassing — and perhaps funniest — snafu in the presentation, the “chart crime.” One of the new features that GPT-5 rolled out is a real-time router that decides which model to use for a particular prompt, either responding quickly or taking addi

GPT-5 is here. Now what?

Whereas o1 was a major technological advancement, GPT-5 is, above all else, a refined product. During a press briefing, Sam Altman compared GPT-5 to Apple’s Retina displays, and it’s an apt analogy, though perhaps not in the way that he intended. Much like an unprecedentedly crisp screen, GPT-5 will furnish a more pleasant and seamless user experience. That’s not nothing, but it falls far short of the transformative AI future that Altman has spent much of the past year hyping. In the briefing, A
