A Bunch of Incredibly Sleazy AI Apps Are Claiming to Be Jesus Christ Himself

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-28 11:48:04

As ChatGPT really started to take off back in 2023, an Austin pastor made minor headlines when he used the large language model (LLM) chatbot to lead a 15-minute "shotgun sermon." The stunt was largely meant to spark a conversation about how we define "what is sacred," the pastor said at the time. Since that lesson in theological ethics, chatbots have become ubiquitous — and they no longer come with lectures. Now in 2025, LLM chatbots are being increasingly made to stand in for therapists, teac

What you may have missed about GPT-5

technologyreview.com James O'Donnell 2025-11-28 04:52:23

With the launch of GPT-5, OpenAI has begun explicitly telling people to use its models for health advice. At the launch event, Altman welcomed on stage Felipe Millon, an OpenAI employee, and his wife, Carolina Millon, who had recently been diagnosed with multiple forms of cancer. Carolina spoke about asking ChatGPT for help with her diagnoses, saying that she had uploaded copies of her biopsy results to ChatGPT to translate medical jargon and asked the AI for help making decisions about things l

The GPT-5 rollout has been a big mess

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-29 05:25:34

It's been less than a week since the launch of OpenAI's new GPT-5 AI model, and the rollout hasn't been a smooth one. So far, the release sparked one of the most intense user revolts in ChatGPT's history, forcing CEO Sam Altman to make an unusual public apology and reverse key decisions. At the heart of the controversy has been OpenAI's decision to automatically remove access to all previous AI models in ChatGPT (approximately nine, depending on how you count them) when GPT-5 rolled out to user

Claude can now reference past chats, if you want it to

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-30 04:18:06

Claude is getting a better, if selective, memory. Rather than acting as perfect catalog of everything you've talked about or shared, Anthropic says the AI chatbot now has the ability to reference past chats when asked, so you don't have to re-explain yourself. The feature seems like it could help you pick up a work project after time away, or query Claude for the details of a past research session that you don't quite remember. The key point is that Claude has to be prompted: It doesn't call on

Study Reveals ChatGPT Gives Dangerous Guidance to Teens, Despite Safety Claims

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.

Breakfast With ChatGPT: Three Workers, One Morning, A Different AI Story

I expected the hallways to be buzzing with conversations about AI, and they were, but not in the way I’d hoped.

For years, teachers have been bashing their heads against the wall as students outsource their homework to large language model (LLM) chatbots like ChatGPT. The time-honored tradition of parenting-by-screen — grossly exacerbated by the rise of LLM chatbots — is now coming to a head with what many have called a "crisis in student literacy," as reading ability among children in the US hits all-time lows.

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
