OpenAI says latest ChatGPT upgrade is big step forward but still can’t do humans’ jobs


Though GPT-5 model has better coding and writing abilities it is not yet able to ‘continuously learn’

OpenAI has claimed to have taken a “significant step” towards artificial general intelligence (AGI) with the launch of its latest upgrade to ChatGPT, but has admitted there are still “many things” missing in its quest to create a system able to do humans’ jobs. Sam Altman, OpenAI’s chief executive, called the model a “significant step forward” to achieving the theoretical state of AGI, which the startup defines as a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work – or, in other words, can do their jobs. AGI’s theoretical capabilities, and the determination of heavily backed tech companies to achieve it, has led to predictions from AI executives that white-collar jobs – from lawyers to accountants, doctors and bankers – will be wiped out by looming advances in the technology.
