When OpenAI introduced a brand new generative artificial-intelligence (AI) mannequin, referred to as o3, a couple of days earlier than Christmas, it aroused each pleasure and scepticism. Pleasure from those that anticipated its reasoning capabilities to be a giant step in direction of superhuman intelligence (some reckoned it might be a much bigger deal than OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT in 2022). Scepticism as a result of OpenAI didn’t launch it to the general public and had each incentive to overplay the agency’s pioneering position in AI to curry favour with Donald Trump, the incoming president.
