To be fair to the OpenAI team, if read in context the situation is at worst ambiguous. The deleted tweet that the article is about said "GPT-5 just found solutions to 10 (!) previously unsolved Erdös problems, and made progress on 11 others. These have all been open for decades." If it had been posted stand-alone then I would certainly agree that it was misleading, but it was not. It was a quote-tweet of this: https:…

It is excellent when just finding something is enough. Most often in my practice, I am dealing with questions that have no written-down answers, meaning the probability of finding a book/article that provides one is negligible. Instead, I am looking for indirect answers or proofs before I make a final engineering decision. Yet another problem is that the language itself changes over time. For instance, at the beginni…

What is "it". Gpt-5 auto? Gpt-5 pro? Deep research? These have wildly different hallucination rates.
If these rates are known it would be great for OpenAI to be open about them so customers can make an informed decision

It might not matter as far as profitability is concerned, ethically the second order effects will be very problematic. I am no puritan but the widespread availability of porn has already affected peoples sexual expectations greatly. AI generated porn is going to remove even more guardrails for behavior previously considered deviant, people will view and bring those expectations back to real life.
This is the same argument that people used for video games, "rock music" and violent movies. I would argue that AI generated porn might be more ethical than traditional porn because the risk of the models being abused or trafficked is virtually zero.
That's not really true. Look at one if the more common uses for AI porn: taking a photo of someone and making them nude.
Deepfake porn exists and it does harm
Humans hallucinating about AI.
Humans "hallucinate" in the AI way constantly, which is why I don't see them as a barrier to LLMs replacing humans in many contexts. It really isn't unusual for a human to make stuff up or be unaware of stuff.
This is more and more clearly false. Humans get things wrong certainly, but the manner in which they get things wrong is just not comparable to how the LLMs get things wrong, beyond the most superficial comparison.

My hunch is that they don't have a way to stop anything, so they are creating verticals to at least contain porn, medical, higher-ed users.
I'm pretty sure that if they didn't deliberately chose to train on sex chat/stories, etc, then the LLM wouldn't be any good at it. The model isn't getting this capability by training on WikiPedia or Reddit. So, it's not a matter of them not being able to do a good job of preventing the model from doing it, therefore giving up and instead encouraging it to do it (which anyways makes no sense), but rather them having c…
I don't know about the former, but the latter absolutely has sexually explicit material that could make the model more likely to generate erotic stories, flirty chats, etc.

I realized they jumped the shark when they announced the pivots to ads and porn. Markets haven’t caught on yet.
The porn pivot makes perfect sense. Porn is already quite fake and unconvincing and none of that matters.
