ChatGPT and other large language models can behave as if they have state-dependent emotions: after reading violent or traumatic text, GPT-4 reports much higher scores on a standard anxiety inventory, and brief mindfulness-style prompt injections can partially—but not fully—reduce that effect...

OpenAI has quietly joined the year‑end "Wrapped" parade with a feature called Your Year with ChatGPT, a visually playful, optional recap that assembles a user's 2025 interactions into bite‑sized stats, a short poem, pixel art, and a personality‑style award — but it only appears for eligible...

OpenAI’s decision to pause in-chat promotional suggestions inside ChatGPT is a blunt reaffirmation that monetizing conversational AI is harder than building it — and that user trust can evaporate faster than a rollout plan can be written. Background In early December, users noticed a puzzling...

OpenAI and Instacart have taken a big step toward turning ChatGPT from a recipe and planning tool into a full shopping assistant: users can now compile grocery lists, pick items from local stores, choose delivery or pickup options, set tips, and pay directly inside ChatGPT thanks to an Instacart...

OpenAI’s internal alert is more than a memo — it’s a strategic reset: Sam Altman has reportedly declared a “code red” that pauses peripheral projects and redirects engineering firepower back to ChatGPT as Google’s Gemini 3 and other rivals close the gap in the generative-AI battlefield. The...

The Dutch public is now far more familiar with generative AI assistants than a year ago, with ChatGPT remaining the top-known name while Google’s Gemini shows the fastest awareness growth — a pattern Telecompaper’s Dutch Consumer AI Monitor (Q4 2025) captures in a detailed, demographic-fractured...

ChatGPT remains the most widely recognised AI assistant among Dutch consumers, but Google’s Gemini is gaining traction fastest — a shift Telecompaper’s Dutch Consumer AI Monitor (Q4 2025) frames as the latest sign that the generative‑AI battleground is moving from a single breakout product into...

OpenAI appears to be quietly building an advertising layer into ChatGPT’s mobile client after developers unpacked a recent Android beta (APK 1.2025.329) and found explicit strings such as "ads feature", "bazaar content", "search ad", and "search ads carousel", a discovery that strongly suggests...

ChatGPT’s refusal to answer “What time is it right now?” has become a small, useful reminder: even the most advanced conversational AIs are still governed by design choices, permission boundaries, and trade‑offs that shape what they can and should do. Recent tests by journalists and AI observers...

Meta’s move to block third‑party AI assistants from WhatsApp will take effect on January 15, 2026, forcing widely used services such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity and a host of startup bots to shut the WhatsApp channel and push users to standalone apps or other interfaces.

OpenAI’s newest pilot brings ChatGPT into the same room as groups of people, testing threaded, multi-user conversations that pair up to 20 participants with the assistant in shared spaces designed for planning, decision‑making, and collaborative creation. Overview OpenAI has begun piloting group...

Microsoft has started exposing the GPT‑5.1 model family inside Microsoft Copilot Studio as an experimental option for U.S. customers enrolled in early‑release Power Platform environments, giving builders and administrators an early look at a model tuned for adaptive thinking time across chat and...

ChatGPT’s dominance doesn’t mean you’re locked into a single assistant — a practical, battle-tested set of free alternatives now exists for research, coding, brainstorming, and creative work, and this piece verifies which ones matter, why they’re useful, and where to be cautious. Background /...

AI chatbots have moved from novelty toys to indispensable productivity tools, but no single assistant fits every workflow — and the hunt for the best ChatGPT alternatives in 2025 is now a strategic decision for teams, creators, and IT leaders alike. This feature walks through why users are...

OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot now sit at the center of corporate AI deployments, capturing the bulk of visible enterprise usage and procurement attention, while rivals such as Anthropic’s Claude, Perplexity, and China‑origin DeepSeek trail behind in public telemetry and enterprise...

In a striking snapshot of enterprise generative AI in late 2025, Wharton Human‑AI Research finds that roughly three in four companies report positive ROI from generative AI projects, and survey respondents name OpenAI’s ChatGPT as the most widely used tool — while Anthropic’s Claude registers...
