Chat GPT reaches 'PhD level' with new features but could it replace humans?
The latest version of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, GPT-5, has dropped, and it can provide "PhD-level expertise" Many Brits may dabble in ChatGPT in their daily lives. The AI assistant can be used to do things like draw up a travel itinerary for a summer holiday or to give advice on the best way to cook a steak ahead of a big meal at home. But could the platform ever replace humans? ChatGPT is a conversational AI chatbot developed by OpenAI that can engage in conversations, generate human-like text, and perform tasks like writing essays and maths equations. The chatbot, then, is already very human-like, and developers have waded in on whether it could encroach on, or indeed override, our own day-to-day capabilities with the first major update it's had in years in the form of GPT-5. GPT‑5 is a "significant leap in intelligence over all our previous models," its maker OpenAI said. It is a "unified system that knows when to respond quickly and when to think longer to provide expert-level responses." Dubbed "smarter, faster, and more useful," GPT-5's makers say it can provide PhD-level expertise in areas such as coding and writing. "GPT-5 is really the first time that I think one of our mainline models has felt like you can ask a legitimate expert, a PhD-level expert, anything," OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman said at a press briefing. GPT-5 can create software in its entirety and demonstrate better reasoning capabilities - with answers that show workings, logic and inference. The company claims it has been trained to be more honest, provide users with more accurate responses and says that, overall, it feels more human. "GPT-3 sort of felt to me like talking to a high school student... 4 felt like you're kind of talking to a college student," he said in a briefing ahead of Thursday's launch. "GPT-5 is the first time that it really feels like talking to an expert in any topic, like a PhD-level expert." However, Altman has stressed that the system is still a long way from replacing humans. For instance, GPT‑5 is the "best model yet" for health-related questions, "empowering users to be informed about and advocate for their health" - but makers insist it "does not replace a medical professional". "Think of it as a partner to help you understand results, ask the right questions in the time you have with providers, and weigh options as you make decisions," they said. What's more, OpenAI is making changes to promote a healthier relationship between users and ChatGPT. In a blog post it said: "AI can feel more responsive and personal than prior technologies, especially for vulnerable individuals experiencing mental or emotional distress."

It said it would not give a definitive answer to questions such as, "Should I break up with my boyfriend?" Instead, it would "help you think it through - asking questions, weighing pros and cons". In the same vein, Prof Carissa Véliz of the Institute for Ethics in AI told the BBC that GPT-5 can only copy - rather than truly emulate - human reasoning abilities, and that the hype is more to do with making money. "These systems... haven't been able to be really profitable," she said. "There is a fear that we need to keep up the hype, or else the bubble might burst, and so it might be that it's mostly marketing." Features users get access to without paying The difference between free and paid access to GPT‑5 is usage volume. At some point on the free tier, your access to GPT-5 will reach the usage limit, and then you'll be kicked back to GPT-5 mini. Plus subscribers will get significantly higher usage volume before that happens. Writing improvements Nearly three years ago, ChatGPT introduced the world to generative AI, dazzling users with its ability to write humanlike prose and poetry. GPT-5's prose has a lot more rhythm and beat to it, according to TechRada r. "These improved writing capabilities mean that ChatGPT is better at helping you with everyday tasks like drafting and editing reports, emails, and memos," according to OpenAI. ChatGPT Voice With the free tier, you still only get limited access to ChatGPT-5's voice mode (along with file uploads, image creation, and data analysis), but you should get more access per day now than you did before. What used to be called 'Advanced voice mode' is now called 'ChatGPT voice'. OpenAI says that 'Standard Voice Mode retires on September 9, 2025, unifying all users on ChatGPT Voice'. ChatGPT Voice is better than before, with more natural-sounding conversations. Hit the voice button on the mobile app for ChatGPT to give it a go right now. New highlight colours You can now add accent colours to your chats in the Settings. These apply to elements in ChatGPT-5 like conversation bubbles and highlighted text. This is the first time colour has been used in the ChatGPT interface. ChatGPT-5 has better memory, reduces hallucinations, and as a free user, you'll get all that, too. The new version will be available to all 700 million users of ChatGPT, its makers OpenAI said.

ChatGPT: OpenAI launches GPT-5, the latest version of its language processing tool
"GPT-3 sort of felt like talking to a high school student. (...) GPT-4 felt like you're talking to a college student. GPT-5 is the first time that it really feels like talking to a PhD-level expert." This is how Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, introduced the latest version of the language processing software that powers the ChatGPT chatbot. Launched on Thursday, August 7, GPT-5 was made available to all of the chatbot's users. It was, unsurprisingly, designed to be faster and more accurate, even for the most complex questions. "I tried going back to GPT-4 and it was quite miserable," Altman said, in a press conference he held the day before. GPT-5 is clearly superior, he said, adding: "It reminds me of when the iPhone went from those giant-pixel old ones to the retina display, and then I went back to using one of those big pixelated things, and I was like, 'Wow, I can't believe how bad we had it.'" This version, the California-based company stated, will make fewer mistakes and generate fewer "hallucinations." GPT-4 would often fabricate responses when it lacked sufficient information, but, for GPT-5, they had "trained the model to be honest," said Alex Beutel, safety research lead, in the presentation. OpenAI claimed the model was now able to inform users about its limitations. They also said it would be better at producing computer code: OpenAI demonstrated how, using a prompt describing a planned website, which featured a quiz and a mini-game, the software generated 600 lines of code in a matter of seconds, and allowed users to view and test the result.

Here's why Sam Altman says OpenAI's GPT-5 falls short of AGI
Sam Altman says OpenAI has yet to crack AGI. The OpenAI CEO said that while the highly anticipated GPT-5, which launched Thursday, is a major advancement, it isn't what he considers artificial general intelligence, a still theoretical threshold where AI can reason like humans. Developing AGI that benefits all of humanity is OpenAI's core mission. "This is clearly a model that is generally intelligent, although I think in the way that most of us define AGI, we're still missing something quite important, or many things quite important," Altman told reporters during a press call on Wednesday before the release of GPT-5. One of those missing elements, Altman said, is the model's ability to learn on its own. "One big one is, you know, this is not a model that continuously learns as it's deployed from the new things it finds, which is something that to me feels like AGI. But the level of intelligence here, the level of capability, it feels like a huge improvement," he said. The exact definition of AGI and how far away the world-changing technology might be are topics of much debate in the AI industry. Some AI leaders, like Meta's chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, have said we may still be "decades" away. Altman said that looking back at OpenAI's previous releases, GPT-5 is still a step in the right direction. "If I could go back five years before GPT-3, and you told me we have this now, I'd be like, that's a significant fraction of the way to something very AGI-like," he said on Wednesday's call. In an earlier blog post, Altman wrote that he and OpenAI's cofounders "started OpenAI almost nine years ago because we believed that AGI was possible, and that it could be the most impactful technology in human history." While AGI remains the company's mission, Altman says OpenAI is already looking beyond it to superintelligence, a still theoretical advancement in which artificial intelligence can reason far beyond human capability. "Superintelligent tools could massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation well beyond what we are capable of doing on our own, and in turn massively increase abundance and prosperity," Altman wrote in January.

OpenAI ChatGPT-5 release by Sam Altman: Features, how is GPT-5 different from GPT-3, GPT-4?
OpenAI ChatGPT-5 is se to be launched on Thursday. The latest installment of the AI technology that powered the ChatGPT juggernaut in 2022, is set for an imminent release, and users will scrutinize if the step up from GPT-4 is on par with the research lab's previous improvements. Two early testers of the new model told Reuters they have been impressed with its ability to code and solve science and math problems, but they believe the leap from GPT-4 to GPT-5 is not as large as the one from GPT-3 to GPT-4. The testers, who have signed non-disclosure agreements, declined to be named for this story. GPT-4's leap was based on more compute power and data, and the company was hoping that 'scaling up' in a similar way would consistently lead to improved AI models. But OpenAI, which is backed by Microsoft and is currently valued at $300 billion, ran into issues scaling up. One problem was the data wall the company ran into, and OpenAI's former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever said last year that while processing power was growing, the amount of data was not. He was referring to the fact that large language models are trained on massive datasets that scrape the entire internet, and AI labs have no other options for large troves of human-generated textual data.

'The hope is that GPT-5 will unlock AI applications that move beyond chat into fully autonomous task execution." OpenAI ChatGPT-5 Live Events Nearly three years ago, ChatGPT introduced the world to generative AI, dazzling users with its ability to write humanlike prose and poetry, quickly becoming one of the fastest growing apps ever. In March 2023, OpenAI followed up ChatGPT with the release of GPT-4, a large language model that made huge leaps forward in intelligence. While GPT-3.5, an earlier version of the model, received a bar exam score in the bottom 10 per cent, GPT-4 passed the simulated bar exam in the top 10 per cent. GPT-4 then became the model to beat and the world came to terms with the fact that AI models could outperform humans in many tasks. Soon, other companies were catching on. The same year, Alphabet's Google and Anthropic - which is backed by Amazon and Google - released competitive models to GPT-4. Within a year, open-source models on par with GPT-4 such as Meta Platforms' Llama 3 models were released. Along with training large models, OpenAI has now invested in another route, called 'test-time compute,' which channels more processing power to solve challenging tasks such as math or complex operations that demand human-like reasoning and decision-making. The company's CEO Sam Altman said earlier this year that GPT-5 would combine both test-time compute and its large models. He also said that OpenAI's model and product offerings had become 'complicated'. FAQs Q1. Who is OpenAI CEO? A1. OpenAI CEO is Sam Altman. Q2. What is OpenAI ChatGpt? A2.

Trump plans 100% tariff on chips made outside U.S.; OpenAI's GPT-5 nears release; Apple to invest $100 billion in U.S. manufacturing
Trump plans 100% tariff on chips made outside U.S. U.S. President Donald Trump said that he will be imposing 100% tariff on computer chips unless they're manufactured within the U.S. The threat has raised the fears around higher prices of electronics, automobiles, household appliances and other essential electronic items. Trump's warning comes three months after he had said electronics would mostly be exempt from the heavy tariffs imposed by his administration. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a shortage of chips pushed up the price of autos causing increased inflation. Investors have said that the tariff exemptions were a plus for Apple and other major tech companies which have invested massive amounts of money in chip manufacturing outside the U.S. Apple has committed to investing $600 billion in the U.S. with another $100 billion promised in February. Big Tech in total has said they will be investing $1.5 trillion in the U.S. since Trump has come to power. There is a chance that Trump could exempt Apple from the tariffs owing to this. Demand for chips has grown with sales increasing by 19.6% in June, according to data. Trump has been fostering domestic manufacturing often saying that the high costs of chips outside the country could be avoided by opening factories domestically. OpenAI's GPT-5 nears release OpenAI is preparing for the release of their latest flagship AI model, GPT-5, so users can finally see the increments in performance from GPT-4. A couple of people who have tested the model said that the coding capabilities of the model shone as did its ability to solve science and math problems. However, the advances from GPT-4 to GPT-5 were not as huge as the advances from GPT-3 to GPT-4. The recent advancement in AI models was based on scaling up by increasing training data and compute. But OpenAI has struggled with scaling up like issues with running into a data wall. Ilya Sutskever, the former chief scientist at OpenAI had said in a speech earlier that even though power could be expanded, data was becoming limited. Besides this, another problem was that the 'training runs' for large language models are more likely to have failures from hardware malfunctioning so researchers can't determine the final performance of the models until the end which can last for months. OpenAI released ChatGPT around three years ago introducing AI to the mainstream globally. The release led to rivals like Google and Anthropic releasing competitive AI models. OpenAI is also working on solving test-time compute which involves reasoning AI models. But CEO Sam Altman said that GPT-5 will be a mix of both reasoning and their flagship large language models. Apple to invest $100 billion in U.S. manufacturing Apple CEO Tim Cook met Donald Trump yesterday to announce an additional investment of $100 billion across the next four years. Under the announcement, Apple will bring more of their supply chain and advanced manufacturing processes to the U.S. as a part of the American Manufacturing Programme initiative but it still isn't a full commitment to make the iPhone domestically completely. Cook said that this plan will expand work with 10 companies across the U.S. that make parts and semiconductor chips. These partners include Corning, Coherent, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments and Broadcom along with a few others. Apple had earlier this year said that it will invest $500 billion domestically. Trump has been upset with Apple shifting their manufacturing processes to India from China after he placed tariffs. Just recently now, Trump is targetting India due to their purchase of Russian oil and imposed additional tariffs on India. Cook has previously said that a bunch of iPhone components can be made in India like the glass display and module to identify faces.
