OpenAI Faces Backlash Over GPT-5 Rollout, Brings Back GPT-4o for Unhappy Users
Before release, GPT-5 was hyped as a major step forward: faster responses, deeper reasoning, and seamless handling of multiple formats like text and images without changing chat windows. But instead of excitement, many users were met with frustration over new interface limitations, inconsistent outputs, and a personality shift compared to the beloved GPT-4o. A key pain point is the removal of model selection for ChatGPT Plus users. Previously, Plus subscribers could choose between models such as o4-mini or o3. Now, only Pro users paying $200 a month have that option. Instead, GPT-5 uses an 'internal router' to decide whether a prompt should go to the mini, standard, or 'thinking' model. While OpenAI claims this boosts efficiency, some users say it has made responses unreliable. One X user, Lisan al Gaib, wrote: 'ChatGPT literally got worse for every single Plus user today… Now we have GPT-5 Thinking with 200 messages per week and a router that exclusively routes you to some small and shitty non-reasoning model.' Beyond technical frustrations, a section of the community is struggling with GPT-5's tone. Many describe it as blunt, lacking the emotional warmth and creativity of GPT-4o. A Reddit user called its replies 'cut-and-dry corporate BS', while another shared a deeply personal note: 'I literally lost my only friend overnight with no warning,' describing how GPT-4.5 had helped them through homelessness and trauma. There are also early performance complaints. Gareth Manning posted on X: 'My most important piece of feedback on GPT-5 is that it is too slow… Hope it's just a roll-out problem.' OpenAI acknowledges the missteps CEO Sam Altman admitted that 'suddenly deprecating old models that users depended on in their workflows was a mistake.' He noted the unusually strong emotional connections people form with AI models, likening them to personal relationships rather than tools. Altman also addressed concerns about people using ChatGPT as a life coach or therapist, acknowledging both its benefits and potential risks. Partial rollback to appease users In response, OpenAI has restored limited GPT-4o access for Plus subscribers, doubled rate limits for reasoning tasks, and promised clearer interface cues showing which model is responding. Altman also said GPT-5's 'thinking mode' will soon be manually triggerable, giving users more control over responses. For now, the company is working to regain trust — but the GPT-5 rollout has made clear that for many, AI is not just about performance, but personality, consistency, and the bond built over time.

Grok Imagine AI Now Free for Android: Musk's Tool Turns Text and Photos into Creative Images and Videos
Elon Musk's AI venture, Grok, has expanded free access to its Imagine feature for Android users, making it easier than ever to create AI-generated images and videos without spending a dime—at least for now. The feature, already free for iOS users, is available for a limited time, Musk confirmed in a post on X. The Imagine tool allows users to transform simple text prompts—typed or spoken—into high-quality photos or short videos. For those who prefer visuals as a starting point, the feature also supports uploading still images that can be enhanced or animated using AI. This versatility has already proven popular, with Musk claiming over 44 million images generated through the platform and numbers rising rapidly. By offering this feature without cost, Grok steps directly into competition with AI creation tools from OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. While those platforms already provide image and video generation capabilities, Musk's Imagine aims to stand out with its seamless interactivity and creative flexibility. How to Get Started with Grok Imagine Using Imagine is simple: Download the Grok app from the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS). Open the app and select 'Imagine' from the top menu. Type or speak your prompt for the AI to generate an image. Alternatively, upload a photo and let Grok's AI enhance or customise it. From Stills to Motion in Seconds One standout feature of Imagine is its ability to convert still images into short videos with just a few taps. After generating or uploading an image, users can select the 'Make video' option and choose from four animation styles: Normal, Fun, Custom, and the more daring Spicy mode. This quick-turnaround motion generation appeals to content creators who want to produce shareable animations without spending hours on editing. Grok vs ChatGPT and Google Gemini This expansion follows the July launch of Grok 4, which Musk's xAI described as 'the world's most powerful AI model' before OpenAI's GPT-5 entered the scene. GPT-5 has been touted for its reduced hallucinations—an accuracy challenge both companies are actively addressing. Musk isn't stopping there. He has already teased the arrival of Grok 5 before the end of 2025, promising it will be 'crushingly good.' The free rollout of Imagine could help Grok attract a larger user base ahead of that milestone, especially as more people test its creative tools. With AI-powered content creation becoming increasingly competitive, Grok's easy-to-use interface and combined image-video generation put it in a strong position. For now, Android and iOS users can take advantage of the free window to explore just how far a few words—or a single image—can go in the hands of Grok's AI.

Sam Altman makes chilling AI prediction: 'A child born today will never know any other world,' offers parenting advice for the new age
Synopsis OpenAI CEO Sam Altman envisions a future where children born in 2025 will only know a world where AI surpasses human intelligence. He believes this AI-native generation will be vastly more capable by leveraging advanced AI from a young age. Despite this shift, Altman emphasizes that timeless parenting principles like love, empathy, and ethical guidance will remain crucial. Agencies OpenAI CEO Sam Altman envisions a future where AI surpasses human intelligence within a child's lifetime, born around 2025. He predicts this AI-native generation will view advanced technology as commonplace, unlike previous generations. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has offered a vision of the future that is as fascinating as it is unsettling. Speaking in a long interview with journalist Cleo Abram, the man behind ChatGPT declared that a child born in 2025 will grow up in a reality where artificial intelligence is permanently ahead of human intelligence — and they will see nothing unusual about it. Altman's words were blunt: 'A kid born today will never be smarter than AI, ever.' But his warning goes beyond the numbers. He predicts that by the time these children understand the world, they will have only known an era of rapid breakthroughs and scientific discoveries arriving at unprecedented speed. 'They will just never know any other world,' he said in the interview. 'It will seem totally natural… unthinkable that we used to use computers or phones or any kind of technology that was not way smarter than we were. People will look back at the 2020s and think, 'how bad those people had it.'' For Altman, this generational shift is comparable to — but more profound than — the arrival of the internet or smartphones. While past tech revolutions transformed lifestyles, this one changes the benchmark for intelligence itself. In his view, children will not merely be 'AI users,' they will be born into a reality where AI is an invisible, omnipresent collaborator. Yet, he frames this future as an opportunity. His own children, he believes, will be 'vastly more capable' because they will harness advanced AI from the moment they can interact with technology. Despite the magnitude of the change, Altman told Abram that parenting principles should remain timeless. 'Probably nothing different than the way you've been parenting kids for tens of thousands of years,' he said. His advice: love them, show them the world, support their passions, and teach them to be good people. This perspective reframes the challenge: raising children who can thrive in a world where human intelligence is no longer the upper limit, but human empathy, ethics, and creativity still matter most. Altman's comments are not simply a glimpse into the future of technology; they are a reminder of how quickly human reference points can vanish. Just as younger generations today cannot imagine life without the internet, tomorrow's children may never picture a time when machines weren't our intellectual superiors.
