Fox News AI Newsletter: ChatGPT 'code red'

The recent release of GPT-5 by OpenAI has sparked a negative shift in public sentiment towards AI, with many users criticizing the model for its perceived flaws rather than recognizing its capabilities. This backlash has led to claims that AI progress is stagnating, with some commentators labeling the technology as 'AI slop'.

A podcaster is facing up to 70 years in prison and a $3.5 million fine for stalking, with allegations that he was influenced by ChatGPT, which he believed hyped him as 'God's assassin.' The Department of Justice (DOJ) has linked the AI's interactions to his violent behavior, raising concerns about the implications of AI on mental health and criminal actions.

OpenAI has been ordered to provide ChatGPT data as part of a new court ruling, raising concerns about user privacy and the handling of AI-generated conversations. This ruling could set a significant precedent for how data from AI interactions is managed and disclosed in legal contexts.

OpenAI is reportedly accelerating the development of a new model, codenamed 'Garlic', aimed at addressing significant flaws in its ChatGPT product. This initiative comes in response to increasing competition, particularly from Google's Gemini, which has rapidly gained a substantial user base since its launch.

Scam applications impersonating Google Gemini and ChatGPT have been repeatedly appearing on the Mac Store, posing significant security risks to users by exploiting well-known branding. These malicious apps are designed to deceive users and potentially compromise their personal data.

The London Stock Exchange Group Plc has entered into a partnership with OpenAI to provide ChatGPT with access to its licensed financial news and data, marking a significant step in integrating advanced AI technology into financial services.

OpenAI has initiated testing of app suggestions within ChatGPT conversations, affecting even Pro subscribers who pay $200 monthly. This move has sparked significant user backlash, as many feel that the introduction of ads detracts from the user experience they expect from a premium service.

An AI evaluation has been conducted on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, focusing on their multimodal capabilities. This assessment highlights the competitive landscape of AI technologies, particularly as Google’s Gemini 3 has rapidly gained popularity, amassing 200 million users within three months of its launch. The test aims to provide insights into how these models perform in understanding and responding to user requests.
