Should AI flatter us, fix us, or just inform us?

technologyreview.com James O'Donnell 2025-11-09 04:00:00

He faces a trilemma. Should ChatGPT flatter us, at the risk of fueling delusions that can spiral out of hand? Or fix us, which requires us to believe AI can be a therapist despite the evidence to the contrary? Or should it inform us with cold, to-the-point responses that may leave users bored and less likely to stay engaged? It’s safe to say the company has failed to pick a lane. Back in April, it reversed a design update after people complained ChatGPT had turned into a suck-up, showering the

GPT-5 is supposed to be nicer now

In Brief OpenAI announced late Friday that it’s updating its latest model to be “warmer and friendlier.” The company recently launched the much-anticipated GPT-5 in a process that CEO Sam Altman admitted was “a little more bumpy than we’d hoped for,” with some users complaining that they preferred the previous model, GPT-4o. OpenAI is trying to address some of those complaints with this update, with changes that it says are “subtle” but will make GPT-5 “more approachable now.” “You’ll notice

Evidence Grows That GPT-5 Is a Bit of a Dud

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-10 18:14:57

Power users of OpenAI's blockbuster chatbot ChatGPT were left largely unimpressed by the company's recently unveiled GPT-5 AI model. Those who became familiar with the convivial and sycophantic tone of GPT-5's predecessor were particularly distraught by its "cold" and far less supportive demeanor, accusing OpenAI of cutting corners. The pushback was significant enough for OpenAI to both make previous iterations available once more to paying customers — and even to lean back into the sycophancy

Unlocking Real-Time Supply Chain Analytics with GPU Technology: Q&A with Meher Siddhartha Errabolu

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-11-11 04:00:44

As supply chains generate ever-larger datasets and demand faster decisions, traditional central processing unit (CPU)-based systems are approaching their limits. To meet real-time requirements at scale, developers turn to accelerated computing powered by graphics processing units (GPUs). These massive parallel processors reshape how data is accessed, analyzed, and operationalized across the enterprise supply chain. One expert at the forefront of this transformation is Meher Siddhartha Errabolu.

Ask an adult what they think about kids and AI, and expect to hear a strong opinion.

Many of these opinions revolve around education. Adults fret that kids will turn ChatGPT into a research bot, paper writer, or math problem solver.

Teachers Are Trying to Make AI Work for Them

One day last spring, in a high school classroom in Texas, students were arguing about who to kill off first. It was a thought experiment with a sci-fi premise: A global zombie outbreak has decimated major cities. One hundred frozen embryos meant to reboot humanity are safe in a bomb shelter, but the intended adult caretakers never made it. Instead, 12 random civilians stumbled in.

New Research Finds That ChatGPT Secretly Has a Deep Anti-Human Bias

Do you like AI models? Well, chances are, they sure don't like you back.

The authors of the study, which was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are calling this blatant favoritism "AI-AI bias" — and warn of an AI-dominated future whe
