ChatGPT's temporary chats promise a clean slate with no memory, but they're not bound by confidentiality. OpenAI wants to protect them behind a layer of encryption.

OpenAI on Thursday released GPT-5, unveiling a new version of the artificial intelligence model that fuels popular chatbot ChatGPT. The product will be made immediately available to users, including customers who use the company's cost-free options, OpenAI said.

"You can learn from everywhere, but you have to do it from scratch," ChatGPT's Nick Turley said. "That trait tends to make someone effective at OpenAI."

But the NYT and other news organizations rejected the compromise, OpenAI said in a filing yesterday. Instead, news plaintiffs have made what OpenAI said was an "extraordinary request that OpenAI produce the individual log files of 120 million ChatGPT consumer conversations."

With new tools and greater autonomy, OpenAI's flagship AI chatbot is more capable, and potentially more dangerous, than ever.

OpenAI says it has tweaked ChatGPT to ensure the model responds appropriately when a user shows distress.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has admitted he 'totally screwed up' the launch of ChatGPT's newest model, GPT-5. It comes after a barrage of complaints from users, not about how effectively the chatbot answered their questions, but about the manner in which it did so.
