Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways OpenAI's GPT-5 will attempt to solve a common ChatGPT problem. It should automatically pick the best model for your prompt. Delays in rolling out are the result of how challenging it is to build. OpenAI has been at the forefront of the AI race since its initial launch of ChatGPT in 2022, consistently releasing new products, models, and updates. That also means that it's difficult to keep track of new product launches -- but GPT-5 is one you

Google’s Newest AI Model Acts Like a Satellite to Track Climate Change

Celebrating 40 Years of the Weirdest, Nerdiest Week in Movie History

“Don’t cannibalize the audience” is an unwritten mantra in Hollywood. If a movie that is coming out has a similar subject matter or serves a similar viewership as one you are releasing, you try and put some distance between them so as not to ruin your chances of success. If two movies come out that are too similar, it’s likely to split the audience and hurt both of them. That seems like a no-brainer point of view.

However, a clear trend when working with AI generated images is their unique look: overly-blurry backgrounds, waxy skin textures, boring composition, and more. Together, these problems constitute what is now known as the “AI look” . Image generation has come a long way since the early days of generating cats and flowers with GANs. Today's models can generate coherent human faces, limbs, and hands. They understand exact quantities, render complex typography, and make an astronaut ride a horse.
