ChatGPT got sassy with me and told me "human hope is adorable" when I asked it about my favorite college football team's prospects this season. It offered me tips for "petty human revenge" when my cat wakes me up in the middle of the night. And then, with a couple of clicks, it changed its tone to be sympathetic and earnest. It's the result of a new feature OpenAI unveiled with the chatbot's GPT-5 model, released this week. With one quick selection, you can change the entire tone of ChatGPT's a

I tested GPT-5 and now I get why the Internet hates it. Is it time to ditch ChatGPT?

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority After years of rumors and speculation, OpenAI’s next-gen GPT-5 language model is finally here. But while many of those early rumors claimed that the next major ChatGPT model would achieve artificial general intelligence or AGI, that’s not the case. GPT-5 does not surpass human-level intelligence, although it’s smarter and more capable than any of its predecessors. Despite the improvements, however, it has garnered significant and widespread backlash across t

Sam Altman Calls His Own AI Model "Annoying" After Being Forced to Raise It From the Dead

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-24 09:42:55

As OpenAI continues to try to tamp down on the chaos of GPT-5's disastrous release, CEO Sam Altman is throwing digs at the company's now-deprecated and controversial model. Late last week, OpenAI finally rolled out GPT-5, the latest version of its flagship large language model. Without warning, the company replaced all previous versions with the latest model — which, in addition to being deeply underwhelming, proved to have a colder, less obsequious tone than its predecessor, GPT-4o.

What to Do When Critical Open Source Projects Go End of Life

Ninety-eight percent of organizations use open source software (OSS) regularly, according to the Linux Foundation. Open source is pervasive. It’s embedded into the fabric of most applications we use in our daily lives. But it’s getting harder to keep up the pace of OSS version deprecations and end-of-life (EOL) cycles. “The life cycle for open source versions is definitely shortening,” Aaron Frost, co-founder and CEO at HeroDevs, which offers long-term support for deprecated open source, told T

ChatGPT’s model picker is back, and it’s complicated

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-11-26 04:25:19

When OpenAI launched GPT-5 last week, the company said the model would simplify the ChatGPT experience. OpenAI hoped GPT-5 would act as a sort of “one size fits all” AI model with a router that would automatically decide how to best answer user questions. The company said this unified approach would eliminate the need for users to navigate its model picker — a long, complicated menu of AI options that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has publicly said he hates.
