National Newswatch | ChatGPT-5 Could Be AI’s “iPhone Moment”: Are You…

An opinion piece speculates that a hypothetical ChatGPT-5 could represent a transformative shift from AI as a tool to AI as a partner, predicting three potential advancements: moving beyond search functionality to genuine reasoning and decision-making assistance, advancing from customization to true personalization by remembering user patterns across multiple formats, and transitioning from assistant to agent by acting proactively on users’ behalf. The author compares this speculated transformation to the iPhone’s revolutionary impact, warning that while such shifts can expand opportunity, they also introduce unintended consequences like distraction and surveillance. However, it’s important to note that OpenAI has not announced GPT-5 or confirmed any of these predicted capabilities - this represents one expert’s speculation about potential future AI development rather than confirmed technological advances.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
