    I hope this is at least done with GPT Live or equivalent, not some cheap shitty model. (but in general, it sounds like a bad idea, it's too early for this!)

    The free tier of ChatGPT is powered by GPT-5.5 Instant, a non-reasoning version of GPT 5.5.

    This is the problem with the genAI image hysteria. As the models improve, it becomes a fake outrage, since the ability to distinguish human creations from AI becomes impossible.

    Technically yes, but the free usage equated to single-digit messages per day before the auto-downgrade. With GPT-5 it was just 1 message per day. Perhaps I should have said "proper…

    Giving free ChatGPT users access to reasoning (the 'Think' toggle) will have a broader impact on the world than every new paid model and coding agent combined.

    Sure, but the question is why either of those things happened, given Google's immense resources and talent. The fact that OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceXAI and 3 different Chinese compan…

    The Gemini 3.5 Pro delay has been catastrophic for Google. I'm really curious what has gone on behind the scenes there. But missing out right as AI coding agents become genuinely d…

    Waymo does 4 million rides per month. Uber does 1 billion, for reference. There's still a long, long way to go. Waymo has proven it can operate a high-priced service in a handful o…

    So the goalposts have moved all the way to "LLMs can't do what Albert Einstein did"?

    It's far far too early to say whether it turned out to be wrong. Tesla also has a robotaxi service in Dallas, FWIW, in testing.

    Have you seen Midjourney 8.2? Pretty soon, you will not be able to tell. What you really mean is "obvious AI-generated images".

    The best tip is to provide a concrete example, or ideally 3+ examples, of the kind of writing/explanations you personally think is great. It's extremely good at matching when provi…

    You couldn't. PhDs have been working on these problems for decades. It wasn't for lack of trying that none of them could figure these solutions out!
