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.

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."

Docusign has lost almost a quarter of its market value this year on concern that new AI tools could help customers create in-house version of the software it sells. The company is trying to head off this risk by integrating with the most disruptive AI player of all, OpenAI's ChatGPT. Docusign is bringing its contract-management technology directly into ChatGPT, letting users draft, manage, and sign agreements without leaving the popular AI chat interface.

Seattle Reign FC head coach Laura Harvey said she used ChatGPT for tactical advice this past offseason, which ultimately led her and her staff to test out a new formation with five defenders. Harvey, who is a three-time NWSL Shield winner and three-time NWSL coach of the year, told the "Soccerish Podcast" that she had not previously played in a back-five or heavily researched it.

I'm Bill DeBlasio. I've always been Bill DeBlasio, he said from Florida. I never once said I was the mayor. [The journalist] never addressed me as the mayor. So I just gave him my opinion. I could have corrected him, he added. It was all in good fun. I never thought it would make it to print.

One day in the off season, I was writing things into ChatGPT like, what is Seattle Reign's identity?' And it would spurt it out. And I was like I don't know if that's true or not. And then I put in what formation should you play to beat NWSL teams?' and it spurted out every team in the league and what formation you should play.

As OpenAI seeks more ways to make money, ChatGPT's potential as a shopping assistant is one promising idea: You tell the bot what you're thinking about buying, and it will help you make comparisons, sort prices and answer intricate product questions. With any luck, those answers might even be right. Crucially, the assumption is that many people will prefer to shop online this way rather than use their current methods,
