OpenAI Bringing Back More Parasocial Version of ChatGPT After Users Scream and Cry That Their Robot Friend Got Taken Away

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-26 03:37:39

ChatGPT's fans have developed intense attachments to some of the "personalities" exhibited by the company's large language models (LLMs) — and as such, many were in a state of panic when the choice to switch between models like GPT-4o, 4.5, and others was abruptly taken away after the release of GPT-5. OpenAI briefly kiboshed the model picker option from ChatGPT as part of the launch of GPT-5, its long-awaited new LLM, which essentially forced everyone to use the latest model whether they liked

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

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-27 02:10:35

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

OpenAI's GPT-5 model went live for most ChatGPT users this week, but lots of people use ChatGPT not through OpenAI's interface but through other platforms or tools. One of the largest deployments is iOS, the iPhone operating system, which allows users to make certain queries via GPT-4o. It turns out those users won't have to wait long for the latest model: Apple will switch to GPT-5 in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, according to 9to5Mac.

The surprise deprecation of GPT-4o for ChatGPT consumers

news.ycombinator.com Simon Willison 2025-11-27 10:04:26

The surprise deprecation of GPT-4o for ChatGPT consumers I’ve been dipping into the r/ChatGPT subreddit recently to see how people are reacting to the GPT-5 launch, and so far the vibes there are not good. This AMA thread with the OpenAI team is a great illustration of the single biggest complaint: a lot of people are very unhappy to lose access to the much older GPT-4o, previously ChatGPT’s default model for most users. A big surprise for me yesterday was that OpenAI simultaneously retired ac

It's Staggeringly Easy for Hackers to Trick ChatGPT Into Leaking Your Most Personal Data

OpenAI's ChatGPT can easily be coaxed into leaking your personal data — with just a single "poisoned" document. As Wired reports, security researchers revealed at this year's Black Hat hacker conference that highly sensitive information can be stolen from a Google Drive account with an indirect prompt injection attack. In other words, hackers feed a document with hidden, malicious prompts to an AI that controls your data instead of manipulating it directly with a prompt injection, one of the mo
