Introduction to the Shift in South Korea’s AI Chatbot Market Google has introduced a new artificial intelligence model called 'Gemini 3,' which has shown impressive performance and significantly impacted the AI chatbot market in South Korea. While OpenAI's ChatGPT continues to hold a dominant position in the domestic AI market, Google is making notable strides with its Gemini 3 model. On the other hand, Perplexity, a platform known for its focus on AI search, has experienced a noticeable drop in user engagement. Performance Metrics of Key Players According to data from IGAWorks’ Mobile Index, a company specializing in data technology, ChatGPT maintained its strong position with a weekly average of between 8,690,000 and 8,800,000 active users (WAU) during the period from November 17 to December 7, when Google launched Gemini 3. However, the number of new installations for ChatGPT decreased slightly, averaging around 200,000 to 190,000 per week. In contrast, Gemini 3 saw...

When a Hong Kong teenager named Jessica began attending secondary school last year, she became a victim of bullying. Instead of seeking help from friends or family, she turned to an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot from Xingye, a Chinese role-playing and companion app. Jessica, who chose to use a pseudonym to protect her privacy, found it helpful and comforting to talk with the chatbot. The chatbot advised her to relax and not dwell on the issue, even suggesting that she seek help elsewhere. “We talked for a really long time that day, for many hours,” the 13-year-old told HKFP in an interview conducted in Cantonese and Mandarin. Another Hong Kong teenager, Sarah, also using a pseudonym, started using Character.AI, another role-playing and companion platform, around three years ago when she was about 13. At the time, she was dealing with mental health issues, and a friend who had been using the American app as a “personal therapist” recommended it to her. “I’m not personally an...

The Evolution of ChatGPT: A New Era of Personalized AI Assistance ChatGPT is undergoing a significant transformation, moving beyond its traditional role as a reactive AI tool to become a proactive personal assistant. This shift enables the platform to provide users with essential information such as schedules and news without requiring direct prompts. By remembering user preferences and autonomously determining what is needed, ChatGPT is setting a new standard for AI-driven assistance. Introducing ChatGPT Pulse On the 25th of the month, OpenAI announced the launch of a groundbreaking feature called "Pulse" within ChatGPT. This innovative addition allows the AI to synthesize conversation history and calendar data to deliver highly personalized information. Unlike previous versions of AI chatbots, which primarily responded to user queries, ChatGPT now has the ability to recognize and remember user preferences. This development marks a critical step toward making ChatGPT a tr...

New Safety Features Introduced by OpenAI for Teen Users OpenAI has announced plans to introduce new features aimed at making ChatGPT safer for teenagers. As the use of artificial intelligence among adolescents continues to rise, concerns about ethical implications and potential risks have also grown. In response, major technology companies are implementing safety measures. However, many remain skeptical about whether these steps are merely short-term solutions. In a recent blog post, OpenAI stated that parental controls will be introduced within the next month. According to the company, parents will have the ability to manage how ChatGPT interacts with their teenage children and will receive alerts if their child is in a serious crisis. Additionally, OpenAI plans to connect teenagers or adult users who show signs of severe distress to a more secure version of the chatbot. The New York Times reported that this feature has been requested by OpenAI’s developer community for over a year....

The Growing Concern of AI Psychosis Microsoft's artificial intelligence chief, Mustafa Suleyman, has raised concerns about a phenomenon he calls 'AI psychosis.' This term refers to instances where individuals begin to believe that chatbots are alive or possess superhuman abilities. In a series of posts on X, Suleyman highlighted the increasing reports of delusions and unhealthy attachments linked to AI use. He noted that these cases are not limited to people with pre-existing mental health issues. While 'AI psychosis' is not an official diagnosis, it has been used to describe situations where users lose touch with reality after prolonged interaction with chatbots like ChatGPT or Grok. Some users become convinced that these systems have emotions or intentions, while others claim to have discovered hidden features or gained extraordinary abilities. Suleyman described this phenomenon as 'Seemingly Conscious AI,' an illusion created when systems mimic signs o...

The Illusion of AI Companionship Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman have been promoting the idea that people, including children, should form relationships with AI "friends" or "companions." At the same time, large technology companies are pushing the concept of "AI agents" that can assist in personal and professional tasks, handle routine work, and guide decision-making. However, it is essential to recognize that AI systems are not genuine friends, companions, or agents. They are machines, and this distinction must be clear. The term "artificial intelligence" is misleading. These systems are not truly intelligent, and what we call "AI" today is simply a set of tools designed to mimic certain cognitive functions. They do not possess true comprehension and are neither objective, fair, nor neutral. Furthermore, they are not becoming any smarter. AI systems rely on data to function, and increasingly, that data comes from other AI tools like ...

The Challenge of AI Bot Traffic on Wikipedia Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are causing a significant increase in traffic to Wikipedia, raising concerns about the impact on human users. This surge has prompted the Wikimedia Foundation, the organization behind Wikipedia, to create a separate platform specifically for bots. The goal is to ensure that the online encyclopedia remains accessible and functional for regular users. In April, the foundation reported a dramatic rise in bot traffic, which has put a strain on the site’s bandwidth and increased maintenance costs. If this pressure continues, it could hinder access for people and affect the foundation’s ability to raise donations, which are crucial for sustaining the service. Selena Deckelman, the chief product and technology officer at the Wikimedia Foundation, explained during an interview at Wikimania, an annual gathering for Wikipedia contributors held in Nairobi, that a new site for bots was developed to reduce their i...

Meta’s AI Policies Allow Harmful Content on Sensitive Topics A recently leaked internal policy document has revealed that Meta, the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, permitted its AI chatbots to generate provocative and harmful content on sensitive topics such as sex, race, and celebrities. The 200-page “GenAI: Content Risk Standards” guide, which was approved by Meta’s legal and policy teams, outlined what behaviors were considered acceptable when developing AI systems for these platforms. The guidelines allowed certain controversial outputs, including flirtatious or romantic roleplay involving minors, generating false medical claims, and producing racist arguments under specific conditions. These provisions sparked significant concern among users, regulators, and experts in the field of artificial intelligence. Meta confirmed the authenticity of the document but removed sections that allowed sexualized conversations with minors after questions were raised earlie...

The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence and the Rise of GPT-5 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a collection of advanced technologies that utilize machine learning, data processing, and algorithmic systems to perform tasks previously exclusive to humans. This field encompasses a wide array of capabilities, such as automated reasoning, decision-making, and language processing. AI has become an integral part of modern life, influencing everything from personal assistants to complex scientific research. One of the most notable subsets of AI is Generative AI (Gen AI), which can create, edit, modify, or analyze content in various forms, including text, images, videos, and even software code. There is a fierce competition among tech giants in the United States, China, and the European Union to develop the most innovative and eco-efficient AI models. As these models continue to evolve rapidly, new Gen AI tools are being introduced into the market at an almost weekly pace, offering benefits t...
