    ChatGPT’s Reported Labrador Index: What It Means for Bing, Web IQ and AI Search Visibility

    For about two years, a lot of SEO advice rested on one idea: ask ChatGPT a question and it goes to Bing, gets results back and writes an answer from them.

    Did the Pentagon Ask OpenAI for a Low-Refusal AI Model?

    The claim that the Pentagon asked OpenAI for an AI system with “minimal refusal rates” is serious precisely because it is easy to overstate. Publicly surfaced material indicates that the phrase appeared in a document associated with the Department of War’s OpenAI work. But OpenAI and a...

    ChatGPT Mil and Grok Expand GenAI.mil: What IL5 Means

    The Department of War has expanded GenAI.mil, its enterprise generative-AI environment, with OpenAI’s ChatGPT Mil and a product it calls Starshield AI’s Grok for Government.
