OpenAI may have called GPT-5.2 its “most advanced frontier model for professional work,” but tests conducted by the Guardian<\/a> cast doubt on its credibility. According to the report, OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 model cited Grokipedia<\/a>, the online encyclopedia powered by xAI, when it came to specific, but controversial topics related to Iran or the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

As seen in the Guardian’s report, ChatGPT used Grokipedia as a source for claims about the Iranian government being tied to telecommunications company MTN-Irancell and questions related to Richard Evans, a British historian who served as an expert witness during a libel trial for Holocaust denier David Irving. However, the Guardian noted ChatGPT didn’t use Grokipedia when it came to a prompt asking about media bias against Donald Trump and other controversial topics.<\/p>\n

OpenAI released the GPT-5.2 model<\/a> in December to better perform at professional use, like creating spreadsheets or handling complex tasks. Grokipedia preceded GPT-5.2’s release, but ran into some controversy when it was seen including citations<\/a> to neo-Nazi forums. A study done by US researchers also showed that the AI-generated encyclopedia cited<\/a> “questionable” and “problematic” sources.<\/p>\n

In response to the Guardian report, OpenAI told the outlet that its GPT-5.2 model searches the web for a “broad range of publicly available sources and viewpoints,” but applies “safety filters to reduce the risk of surfacing links associated with high-severity harms.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI may have called GPT-5.2 its “most advanced frontier model for professional work,” but tests conducted by the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256105,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[345,343,344,4193,135750,22915,85,46,135751,1748,135749,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-256104","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-chatgpt","12":"tag-david-irving","13":"tag-guardian","14":"tag-il","15":"tag-israel","16":"tag-online-encyclopedia","17":"tag-openai","18":"tag-richard-evans","19":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
