ChatGPT 5, which has reached doctoral level, has been released, and its new sound has sparked controversy.

OpenAI has officially announced its long-awaited new AI model, GPT-5. According to the company, GPT-5 now offers "doctoral-level expertise," making ChatGPT smarter, more accurate, and far more functional.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that GPT-5 offers an unprecedented level of advancement in the history of artificial intelligence, saying, “GPT-3 reminded me of a high school student, and GPT-4 reminded me of a college student. But GPT-5, for the first time, feels like an AI that resembles a PhD-level expert in any subject.”

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS NOW MORE HONEST AND MORE REASONABLE

GPT-5 stands out for producing fewer "hallucinations" (fabricated information) compared to previous versions. The model provides more honest answers, can make logical inferences, and is notable for its step-by-step reasoning skills. OpenAI also announced that the new system can produce "fully functional software."

Competition is heating up in every field

The release of GPT-5 has further intensified competition in the AI sector. Elon Musk's Grok model claims to be "superior to GPT-5 in every aspect," while companies like Anthropic continue to develop GPT-5-level models. However, this process has also sparked controversy. Anthropic blocked access to GPT-5, claiming OpenAI was using its API without permission. OpenAI, however, maintained that this method was "standard practice" in the industry.

COPYRIGHT AND TRANSPARENCY CONCERNS

GPT-5's content generation capabilities have also sparked ethical debate. Getty Images Product Director Grant Farhall emphasized the need for transparent oversight of the content used in training AI, and raised the question: "Are we protecting the human labor and creativity behind the content we produce?"

A HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIP WITH CHATGPT

OpenAI is also redesigning the user experience with GPT-5. The AI's responses, particularly on emotional topics, are being crafted more carefully.

Instead of providing direct answers to personal questions like, "Should I break up with my girlfriend?", ChatGPT now prompts the user with thoughtful questions. Sam Altman says this approach is designed to prevent "emotionally problematic attachments."

SCARLETT JOHANSSON CRISIS: SOUND SIMILE DRAWS OUTRAGE

The new model's voice chat feature has also been the subject of controversy. Actress Scarlett Johansson reacted by saying OpenAI's chatbot voice was "eerily similar" to her own. Altman is known for his admiration for the 2013 film Her .

GPT-5 LAUNCHED TODAY

Amidst all this controversy, GPT-5 has been made available to all users worldwide as of today. The new model's performance in real life, and the extent to which Sam Altman's claims are true, will become clearer in the coming days.
