OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has taken action against deceptive uses of AI in covert operations focused on the Indian elections. The company disrupted a network of accounts originated from Israel that used AI-generated content to criticize the ruling BJP party and praise the opposition Congress party.

In a test of ChatGPT’s knowledge about Sonos Ace headphones, the AI model displayed several errors: it identified them as speakers, suggested non-existent color options, and provided generic recommendations that ignored the unique design and features of the headphones.

The free version of ChatGPT has received a significant upgrade, now offering features that were previously exclusive to the paid ChatGPT Plus version. Among the most notable is the addition of custom GPTs, which allow users to create personalized versions of ChatGPT tailored to specific tasks. These GPTs can be enhanced with additional knowledge and customized prompts, making them highly versatile tools. The update also includes access to GPT-4o features like image understanding, file uploads for analysis, and web information retrieval. However, some features remain limited for free users, and limitations will result in a fallback to GPT-3.5. These enhancements bring the free version of ChatGPT closer to the capabilities of ChatGPT Plus while expanding its accessibility and utility for a wider range of users.
Despite the hype surrounding generative AI in recent months, a new study suggests that regular use of these tools is still relatively low. OpenAI’s ChatGPT is the most widely used, with 2% of respondents in France and the UK, and 7% in the US using it daily. However, between 19% and 30% of respondents haven’t even heard of any of the most popular generative AI tools. Younger people are more likely to use generative AI regularly, with 56% of those aged between 18 and 24 saying they’ve used ChatGPT at least once. Going forward, the study predicts that generative AI will be driven by a combination of professional adaptation, workplace products, and the integration of AI elements into social media and search engines.
