CHATGPT VERSION 5 (GPT-5) HYPE

Sam Altman, the artificial intelligence hype master, is in damage-control mode.

The misstep on the model, called GPT-5, is notable for a couple of reasons.

1. It highlighted the many existing shortcomings of generative AI that critics were quick to seize on (more on that in a moment, because they were quite funny).

2. It raised serious doubts about OpenAI’s ability to build and market consumer products that human beings are willing to pay for. That should be particularly concerning for investors, given OpenAI, which has never turned a profit, is reportedly worth $500 billion.

Users had a field day testing GPT-5 and mocking its wildly incorrect answers.

The journalist Tim Burke said on Bluesky that he prompted GPT-5 to “show me a diagram of the first 12 presidents of the United States with an image of their face and their name under the image.”

The bot returned an image of nine people instead, with rather creative spellings of America’s early leaders, like “Gearge Washingion” and “William Henry Harrtson.”

A similar prompt for the last 12 presidents returned an image that included two separate versions of George W. Bush. No, not George H.W. Bush, and then Dubya. It had “George H. Bush.” And then his son, twice. Except the second time, George Jr. looked like just some random guy.

Labeling basic maps of the United States also proved tricky for GPT-5 (but again, pretty funny, as tech writer Ed Zitron’s post on Bluesky showed).

“I’m so done with ChatGPT 5,” one user wrote on Reddit, explaining how they tried to use the new model to run “a simple system” of tasks that an earlier ChatGPT model used to handle. The user said GPT-5 “went rogue,” deleting tasks and moving deadlines.

IBM- AI CREATING NEW JOBS AFTER TAKING AWAY JOBS

Towards a transformation of the labour market

IBM’s example illustrates a fundamental trend: AI is not just eliminating jobs, it is creating new ones, often with higher qualifications and better pay. But this transformation is not without its problems. The jobs most exposed to automation, such as support functions, are being replaced, while demand is exploding for profiles capable of managing, designing and selling AI solutions. IBM is not an isolated case. Other companies, such as Duolingo and certain customer service platforms, have also tried to massively replace their staff with chatbots, sometimes with mixed results, forcing them to rehire specialists to compensate for the limits of automation.

The success of automation at IBM is based on the company’s ability to reinvest the savings made in growth sectors. The case of AskHR is emblematic: in 2024, the platform handled more than 11.5 million interactions, with a customer satisfaction rate (NPS) that rose from -35 to +74 in just a few years. But despite these successes, only 6% of requests still require human intervention, proof that the transformation is not complete and that certain skills are still essential.

The IBM case raises the question of the future of work in the age of AI. According to a report by the World Economic Forum, almost 92 million jobs could disappear by 2030 as a result of automation, but new professions are already emerging at high speed. The challenge for companies and employees will be to anticipate these changes, train and adapt to an ever-changing labour market. At IBM, AI has not only eliminated jobs: it has forced the company to rethink its HR strategy in depth and reinvent the contours of modern employment.

IBM laid off 8,000 employees to replace them with AI, but what they didn't expect was having to rehire as many due to AI.

In 2023, IBM made its mark by announcing the redundancy of almost 8,000 employees, mainly in human resources, to automate these functions using artificial intelligence. But against all odds, this strategy led to a wave of new hires... again because of AI. AI upsets the employment balance at IBM In.....
