Parents sue OpenAI over ChatGPT’s role in son’s suicide

In Brief Before 16-year-old Adam Raine died by suicide, he had spent months consulting ChatGPT about his plans to end his life. Now, his parents are filing the first known wrongful death lawsuit against OpenAI, The New York Times reports. Many consumer-facing AI chatbots are programmed to activate safety features if a user expresses intent to harm themselves or others. But research has shown that these safeguards are far from foolproof. In Raine’s case, while using a paid version of ChatGPT-4

Google could be building a new nook for your Gemini creations (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a new “My Stuff” section for the Gemini interface on Android. While its purpose isn’t clear, it could be used to store media generated using Gemini, separate from your chats. A similar section for storing AI-generated media is also present in ChatGPT, and it is known as “Library.” Gemini is already quite powerful as a virtual assistant, and is raking up new features as Google prepares to replace Google Assistant with it entirely.

ChatGPT is reportedly scraping Google Search data to answer your questions - here's how

Anadolu / Contributor / Anadolu via Getty Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Reports reveal that OpenAI uses Google Search data to answer some of users' questions. The topics that use Google Search data mostly surround news, sports, and financial markets. OpenAI retrieves the Google Search data using a third-party web-scraping tool. As more people consult ChatGPT for general inquiries, reports are pointing to OpenAI, the AI-powered chatbot's parent

I retested GPT-5's coding skills using OpenAI's guidance - and now I trust it even less

The air is hissing out of the overinflated AI balloon

Opinion There tend to be three AI camps. 1) AI is the greatest thing since sliced bread and will transform the world. 2) AI is the spawn of the Devil and will destroy civilization as we know it. And 3) "Write an A-Level paper on the themes in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet." I propose a fourth: AI is now as good as it's going to get, and that's neither as good nor as bad as its fans and haters think, and you're still not going to get an A on your report. You see, now that people have been usin

I tried ChatGPT Go, and I don’t think I can ever go back to the free version

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Love it or hate it, ChatGPT is the search engine of choice in 2025. Even with its many flaws and quirks, there’s no denying that ChatGPT has become an integral part of everyday research and productivity for so many people. The free version has served me well enough for quick answers and casual use, but it has its limitations. So, when OpenAI announced ChatGPT Go, a new $ 5-per-month plan, I was immediately curious. I’ve been intrigued about the capabilities of

ChatGPT-5 Impressions: Fast, but a Bit Impersonal

ChatGPT-5 likes getting straight to the point. For some, that's a reprieve from its chattier predecessor, GPT-4o. For others, something will certainly seem off. Despite the hype leading up to OpenAI's launch of GPT-5, it ultimately doesn't feel too different from 4o. The quality of responses in my ongoing testing seems to be at the level of past models, including the o3 "reasoning" model. The major difference is that some responses generate very quickly in relatively few words, while others ca

Political Pollsters Are Trying to Save Money by Polling AI Instead of Real People, and It’s Going About as Well as You’d Expect

As if the institution of political polling weren't already fraught enough, pollsters are now surveying AI instead of real people to cut costs and save time. As new research demonstrates, AI is clearly not up to the job — but that probably won't stop any firms who've bought in to continue doing so. In a white paper about the topic for the survey platform Verasight, data journalist G. Elliott Morris found, when comparing 1,500 "synthetic" survey respondents and 1,500 real people, that large lang

Building A16Z's Personal AI Workstation

In the era of foundation models, multimodal AI, LLMs, and ever-larger datasets, access to raw compute is still one of the biggest bottlenecks for researchers, founders, developers, and engineers. While the cloud offers scalability, building a personal AI Workstation delivers complete control over your environment, latency reduction, custom configurations and setups, and the privacy of running all workloads locally. This post covers our version of a four-GPU workstation powered by the new NVIDIA

Apple gets ready for AI in the enterprise with new ChatGPT configuration options

As AI technology makes its way into the enterprise, Apple is rolling out new tools that will give businesses more granular control over where and how their employees can tap into artificial intelligence. With the release of Apple’s software updates arriving in September, the tech giant is adding another option for enterprise customers: the ability to configure the use of an enterprise version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Apple has already seen the demand for ChatGPT for Enterprise, which OpenAI says no

GPT-5 usage limitations: what are they, how does this compare to GPT-4 family?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority GPT-5 arrived a few weeks ago, though its rollout hasn’t been entirely smooth. While the model shows plenty of promise, its debut also meant the abrupt removal of every other GPT model from ChatGPT’s user-facing UI. Since then, some old models have returned, and there have been a few other changes to the way the system works. Furthermore, many of the initial GPT-5 usage limits have been temporarily enhanced since launch. Let’s dive in and take a closer look

Forget GPT-5: OpenAI's GPT-6 might launch sooner than you think

Tharon Green/ZDNET/Open AI/Getty Images ZDNET's key takeaways As the paint on GPT-5 dries, OpenAI is already working on GPT-6. The model's biggest differentiator seems to be deeper personalization.

I Gave GPT-5 Some Work Tasks in Copilot. Here's What's New

OpenAI's latest GPT-5 model promises to be the most advanced AI assistant yet, but for the millions of workers using Microsoft Copilot for their daily routines, the reality is a bit more nuanced. Microsoft announced last week that GPT-5, OpenAI's latest ChatGPT AI model, is now integrated across its Copilot services, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, GitHub Copilot and the standalone Copilot app. While GPT-5 does deliver some noticeable improvements in polish, detail and helpfuln

ChatGPT-5 Lets You Choose Your AI Model. These Are Your Options

The biggest pushback after OpenAI announced its new GPT-5 model for ChatGPT came from devotees of older models who felt the new generative AI chatbot lacked the panache of its predecessors. Now you have more choices of pre-GPT-5 models (although you'll have to hunt for some of them) and better control over which components of GPT-5 handle your questions. OpenAI is still sorting through a somewhat rocky launch of GPT-5, led by complaints about the lack of model choices. The model has been antic

Google’s silence on the Pixel 10 GPU is concerning for gamers

Google has just launched the Pixel 10 phones, and there’s plenty to know about them. There are some great new AI features, a groundbreaking IP68 rating for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and a telephoto camera for the base model. All four phones are also powered by the Tensor G5 processor. Unfortunately, Google remains deeply silent on a major Tensor G5 feature. This makes me worried about the Pixel 10 phones, especially if you’re a gamer.

OpenAI says GPT-6 is coming and it'll be better than GPT-5 (obviously)

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman told reporters that GPT-6 is already in the works, and it’ll not take as long as GPT-5. The GPT-6 announcement doesn't surprise me because OpenAI is slowly becoming a product-first company rather than research-focused. There's no denying that OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman overhyped GPT-5 and underdelivered. While GPT-5 isn't exactly bad and actually offers significant improvements over GPT-4 or o3 for coding, the rollout wasn't smooth and some people were expecting more than

Say farewell to the AI bubble, and get ready for the crash

Most people not deeply involved in the artificial intelligence frenzy may not have noticed, but perceptions of AI’s relentless march toward becoming more intelligent than humans, even becoming a threat to humanity, came to a screeching halt Aug. 7. That was the day when the most widely followed AI company, OpenAI, released GPT-5, an advanced product that the firm had long promised would put competitors to shame and launch a new revolution in this purportedly revolutionary technology.

5 reasons why GPT-5 is actually better than some of the older GPT models

Joe Maring / Android Authority Recently, OpenAI has come under fire for GPT-5’s rocky launch. Many users have called it a step backward, citing a lack of personality and other tweaks that turned people off — sentiments echoed in our own GPT-5 review. Still, GPT-5 does improve on at least some of the previous legacy models. Before we dive in, it’s important to note that GPT-5 really does have less personality. It’s curt and to the point in nearly every interaction. This makes it much less usefu

OpenAI releases $4 ChatGPT plan, but it's not available in the US for now
