ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has unveiled the long-awaited latest version of its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, GPT-5, saying it can provide PhD-level expertise.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Billed as &#8220;smarter, faster, and more useful,&#8221; OpenAI co-founder and chief executive Sam Altman lauded the company&#8217;s new model as ushering in a new era of ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">&#8220;I think having something like GPT-5 would be pretty much unimaginable at any previous time in human history,&#8221; he said ahead of Thursday&#8217;s launch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">GPT-5&#8217;s release and claims of its &#8220;PhD-level&#8221; abilities in areas such as coding and writing come as tech firms continue to compete to have the most advanced AI chatbot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 dEGcKf\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Elon Musk recently made similar claims of his own AI chatbot, Grok, which has been plugged into X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">During the launch of Grok&#8217;s latest iteration last month, Musk said it was &#8220;better than PhD level in everything&#8221; and called it the world&#8217;s &#8220;smartest AI&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Meanwhile, Altman said OpenAI&#8217;s new model would suffer from fewer hallucinations &#8211; the phenomenon whereby large language models make up answers- and be less deceptive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">OpenAI is also pitching GPT-5 to coders as a proficient assistant, following a trend among major American AI developers, including Anthropic whose Claude Code targets the same market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 fDtfvH\" data-component=\"subheadline-block\">\n<h2 class=\"sc-f98b1ad2-0 eOFjmw\">What can GPT-5 do?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 dEGcKf\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">OpenAI has highlighted GPT-5&#8217;s ability to create software in its entirety and demonstrate better reasoning capabilities &#8211; with answers that show workings, logic and inference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">According to Altman, the model is &#8220;significantly better&#8221; than its predecessors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">&#8220;GPT-3 sort of felt to me like talking to a high school student&#8230; 4 felt like you&#8217;re kind of talking to a college student,&#8221; he said in a briefing ahead of Thursday&#8217;s launch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">&#8220;GPT-5 is the first time that it really feels like talking to an expert in any topic, like a PhD-level expert.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">For Prof Carissa V\u00e9liz of the Institute for Ethics in AI, however, GPT-5&#8217;s launch may not be as significant as its marketing may suggest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">&#8220;These systems, as impressive as they are, haven&#8217;t been able to be really profitable,&#8221; she said, also noting that they can only mimic &#8211; rather than truly emulate &#8211; human reasoning abilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">&#8220;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&#8217;s mostly marketing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">The BBC&#8217;s AI Correspondent Marc Cieslak gained exclusive access to GPT-5 before it&#8217;s official launch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">&#8220;Apart from minor cosmetic differences the experience was similar to using the older chatbot: give it tasks or ask it questions by typing a text prompt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">It&#8217;s now powered by what&#8217;s called a reasoning model which essentially means it thinks harder about solving problems, but this seems more like an evolution than revolution for the tech.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">The company will roll out the model to all users from Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">In the coming days it will become a lot clearer whether it really is as good as Sam Altman claims it is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 fDtfvH\" data-component=\"subheadline-block\">\n<h2 class=\"sc-f98b1ad2-0 eOFjmw\">Clash with other AI firm<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 dEGcKf\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Anthropic recently revoked OpenAI&#8217;s access to its application programming interface<b id=\"\" class=\"sc-d16436d-0 jpoiOL\">\u00a0<\/b>(API),\u00a0<a class=\"sc-f9178328-0 bGFWdi\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/anthropic-revokes-openais-access-to-claude\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b id=\"claiming\" class=\"sc-d16436d-0 jpoiOL\">claiming<\/b><\/a>\u00a0the company was violating its terms of service by using its coding tools ahead of GPT-5&#8217;s launch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">An OpenAI spokesperson said it was &#8220;industry standard&#8221; to evaluate other AI systems to assess their own progress and safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">&#8220;While we respect Anthropic&#8217;s decision to cut off our API access, it&#8217;s disappointing considering our API remains available to them,&#8221; they added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">With a free tier for its new model, the company may be signalling a potential move away from the proprietary models that have previously dominated its offerings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 fDtfvH\" data-component=\"subheadline-block\">\n<h2 class=\"sc-f98b1ad2-0 eOFjmw\">ChatGPT changes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 dEGcKf\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">On Monday, OpenAI revealed it was making changes to promote a healthier relationship between users and ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">In a\u00a0<a class=\"sc-f9178328-0 bGFWdi\" href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/how-we're-optimizing-chatgpt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post<\/a>, it said: &#8220;AI can feel more responsive and personal than prior technologies, especially for vulnerable individuals experiencing mental or emotional distress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">It said it would not give a definitive answer to questions such as, &#8220;Should I break up with my boyfriend?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Instead, it would &#8220;help you think it through &#8211; asking questions, weighing pros and cons&#8221;, according to the blog post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">In May, OpenAI pulled a\u00a0<a class=\"sc-f9178328-0 bGFWdi\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cn4jnwdvg9qo\" target=\"_self\">heavily-criticised update<\/a>\u00a0which made ChatGPT &#8220;overly flattering&#8221;, according to Sam Altman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">On a\u00a0<a class=\"sc-f9178328-0 bGFWdi\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DB9mjd-65gw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent episode<\/a>\u00a0of OpenAI&#8217;s own podcast, Mr Altman said he was thinking about how people interact with his products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">&#8220;This is not all going to be good, there will still be problems,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">&#8220;People will develop these somewhat problematic, or maybe very problematic, parasocial relationships [with AI]. Society will have to figure out new guardrails. But the upsides will be tremendous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Mr Altman is known to be a fan of the 2013 film Her, where a man develops a relationship with an AI companion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">In 2024, actress Scarlett Johansson, who voiced the AI companion in the film,\u00a0<a class=\"sc-f9178328-0 bGFWdi\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cm559l5g529o\" target=\"_self\">said she was left &#8220;shocked&#8221; and &#8220;angered&#8221;<\/a> after OpenAI launched a chatbot with an &#8220;eerily similar&#8221; voice to her own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By BBC<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUG 8 &#8211; ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has unveiled the long-awaited latest version of its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, GPT-5, saying it can provide PhD-level expertise.
