Every student at the school has access to Perplexity Pro, and she's tapped ChatGPT as well, even creating a custom GPT for building negotiation skills that she continues to tweak and improve. "I want my students to think about how these tools can help them to prepare for a negotiation, how they can help them practice their negotiations, and how they can support them when they're stuck in negotiations," she said. "It could be for that bigger moment, but a lot of times, it's all the steps leading up to it."

We work with seven- and eight-figure ecommerce companies, helping them grow organic traffic and conversions through the fundamentals - search, content, link building - and now layering in what I call "AI SEO." Basically, optimizing so you show up in places like ChatGPT and other large language models. I've worked in ecommerce SEO for about 15 years. I ran my own ecommerce sites before then, but I learned I'm better at marketing than operations.

Gabriel Petersson said on an episode of the "Extraordinary" podcast published on Thursday that he's in a job traditionally only done by people with doctorate degrees because he was able to learn machine learning through ChatGPT. "Universities don't have, like, a monopoly on foundational knowledge anymore," he said. "You can just get any foundational knowledge from ChatGPT." "You start with a problem, you recursively go down," he added.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis wrote the footnote in a 223-page opinion issued last week, noting that the practice of using ChatGPT to write use-of-force reports undermines the agents' credibility and "may explain the inaccuracy of these reports." She described what she saw in at least one body camera video, writing that an agent asks ChatGPT to compile a narrative for a report after giving the program a brief sentence of description and several images.

With the latest version of the ChatGPT app for iOS and Android, you can now talk to the AI by voice from the same screen you use for regular chatting. With no separate voice mode to interrupt the flow, you can easily bounce back and forth between typing and speaking your words. Plus, the text of the conversation appears on the screen as you're speaking, so you're able to see the words without having to end the chat.

A new study by SEO and GEO agency Nectiv just revealed that making one simple change-adding a table to your business' website-could improve your chances of getting referenced by ChatGPT. ChatGPT is 2.3 times more likely than Google to cite websites with tables, according to the study. Nectiv uncovered this finding by analyzing more than 25,000 webpages indexed by Google and nearly 8,800 webpages referenced by ChatGPT for the same search query.

It's never been easier to ditch Google search. Just ask Mohamed Mura, a 37-year-old professional based in London, who began pulling back from the search engine during the pandemic. Instead of typing into Google, he turned to TikTok for questions like "how to change a watch band." With the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, Mura's Google usage dropped further. He said the AI chatbot felt like a "second brain or agent" he could bounce ideas off of.

You're a few questions into the job interview and something feels off. The candidate's answers are polished. (Maybe too polished.) There's a slight delay before each response. And their eyes keep drifting off camera. You're pretty sure ChatGPT is feeding them answers. Rebecca Knight is a journalist who writes about all things related to the changing nature of careers and the workplace.

I'm not a student and I don't code. I am, however, on day 48 of my van tour through Europe with my wife and dog. We travel without a specific itinerary, chasing the wind and sun while working our 9 to 5 jobs. AI's mastery of travel planning has made it an unexpected but irreplaceable expert. So much so that we've grown increasingly dependent upon the free versions of Gemini and ChatGPT to help choose our next destination.

As Kotaku reports, the three cofounders of the video game developer Unknown Worlds, which is behind the popular "Subnautica" franchise, sued the game's publisher, Krafton, after being abruptly fired in July. It was a dramatic ousting that shook the gaming industry, raising questions over the franchise's hotly anticipated sequel, whose release date was pushed back to 2026 at the time. (The game is currently the most wishlisted upcoming game on digital distribution service Steam's charts.)

Internet infrastructure provider Cloudflare says it is investigating an issue that caused outages for social media platform X, some multiplayer games and ChatGPT. Cloudflare said on its status page earlier Tuesday that it was aware of and investigating an issue that was impacting multiple customers. There were reports of widespread 500 errors as well as Cloudflare Dashboard and API failing. Cloudflare then provided an update that a recovery was underway, but reverted to messaging that indicate they are still investigating the cause of the issue.

Recently, at a pub with a bunch of my friends who were gen X parents, the talk turned to young love. Most of their kids were in their late teens and early 20s, and embarking on their first relationships. These gen X parents were a cohort that supported marriage equality and trans rights, not just for society more broadly but for their own children. And we all prided ourselves on being more progressive than the previous generation.

In October 2025, Sam Altman announced that OpenAI will be enabling erotic and adult content on ChatGPT by December of this year. They had pulled back, he said, out of concern for the mental health problems associated with ChatGPT use. In his opinion, those issues had been largely resolved, and the company is not the " elected moral police of the world," Altman said.

Microsoft Corp., eager to boost downloads of its Copilot chatbot, has recruited some of the most popular influencers in America to push a message to young consumers that might be summed up as: Our AI assistant is as cool as ChatGPT. Microsoft could use the help. The company recently said its family of Copilot assistants attracts 150 million active users each month. But OpenAI's ChatGPT claims 800 million weekly active users, and Google's Gemini boasts 650 million a month.

Some of these users, like 48-year-old Allan Brooks, survived, but allege that ChatGPT wrought emotional and psychological harm, and in some cases led to crises requiring emergency psychiatric care. Others, the suits claim, tragically took their lives following obsessive interactions with the consumer-facing chatbot. Per the WSJ, the suits include claims of assisted suicide, manslaughter, and wrongful death, among other allegations.

Mostly, he has been met with some rather bland and uninspiring suggestions - but these have been pretty useful in helping to eliminate clichéd routes. "I thought it was a really obvious way to use it," he tells us. "But I was surprised that people thought it was non-obvious, that they hadn't thought of it that way. It was a really simple flip for me - don't expect it to be giving you all the answers yet."

Things aren't going well for the Calgary Flames, the professional Canadian hockey team founded in 1972. Despite pushing for a playoff spot late last year, the Flames only have three wins through fourteen games this season, securing an early spot as the worst team in the National Hockey League so far. Some fans think this may be the sign of early-season tanking - when a team loses on purpose in order to get a better draft pick in the summer.

The study, "A.I. and The Writing Profession," collected response from 1,481 working writers comprised of 1,190 writing professionals and 291 fiction authors. The analysis was supplied by author and former Forrester Research executive Josh Bernoff. The majority of all writers think that AI poses both a threat and an opportunity. 61% reported using AI tools, which they say increase their productivity by an average of 31%, but only 7% of respondents have published AI-generated text.

Advanced Voice Mode is the ChatGPT app's most distinctive feature. Ask it to play a tough interviewer or a skeptical client as you prepare for a difficult conversation. Or have it ask questions to help you make a decision. Most of what you can do on your laptop you can do in the ChatGPT mobile app. Create an image. Ask for an infographic, a cartoon, or a photo illustration. See examples of seven ways I use these images.

What would you call an assistant who invented answers if they didn't know something? Most people would call them "Fired." Despite that, we don't mind when AI does it. We expect it to always have an answer, but we need AI that says, "I don't know." That helps you trust the results, use the tool more effectively and avoid wasting time on hallucinations or overconfident guesses.

Don't worry, you can continue to ask ChatGPT all your burning health questions. A series of news articles and X posts on Monday morning, including one post by the prediction market Kalshi, suggested that OpenAI's ChatGPT would no longer offer health advice. That's not entirely accurate. OpenAI can still give you medical information - it just can't pretend to be your doctor.

In an announcement first reported by Wired, the Sam Altman-led company estimated that, in any given week, around 0.07 percent of active ChatGPT users show "possible signs of mental health emergencies related to psychosis and mania." Grimly, an even larger contingent, 0.15 percent, "have conversations that include explicit indicators of potential suicide planning or intent."
