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

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-12-01 09:15:44

I came to Cleveland, Ohio, for the 50th anniversary of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention. I expected the hallways to be buzzing with conversations about AI, and they were, but not in the way I’d hoped. For the first two days, the phrase I heard most from my fellow journalists was “we must protect ourselves.” In session after session, the consensus was that AI is a danger, a threat, an enemy coming to replace us.

OpenAI Brings Back Fan-Favorite GPT-4o After a Massive User Revolt

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-12-01 21:37:20

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. The move comes just days after the botched rollout of GPT-5, the company’s latest and most powerful model. The launc

OpenAI Usage Plummets in the Summer, When Students Aren't Cheating on Homework

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-30 06:21:56

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. The issue isn't just affecting K-12 either; university professors have reported a similar dro

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

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.

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 to fix GPT-5 issues, double rate limits for paid users after outrage

OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, overpromised on GPT-5, and real-life results are underwhelming, but it looks like a new update is rolling out that might address some of the concerns. GPT-5 is a state-of-the-art model. In our tests, BleepingComputer found that GPT-5 does really well in coding. It was significantly faster than the other OpenAI models, including o3.

Its auto-routing architecture seamlessly switches between a quick-response model and a deeper reasoning model without requiring a separate “reasoning model” toggle.
