ChatGPT-5 is here—and it’s more than just smarter text. In this episode of 4 Guys Talking About AI, we unpack the big shifts happening in AI right now: from new productivity tools to controversial laws to trillion-dollar bets by Big Tech.

Here’s what we dig into:
💻 ChatGPT-5 Launch: Fewer hallucinations, smarter conversations, and real productivity tools like email sorting and document drafting.
🎮 Google Genie 3: Real-time 3D worlds built from prompts—reshaping gaming, urban planning, and even travel.
⚖️ Illinois AI Therapy Ban: The first state to outlaw AI therapy. Does this protect patients, or limit access to care?
🍏 Apple’s “Answers Team”: Can Apple catch up to ChatGPT and Claude, or is Siri falling too far behind?
📈 AI Economics: Big Tech is pouring $350B into AI—boosting GDP but raising questions about who really benefits.

It’s a packed conversation on how these moves are reshaping not just tech, but jobs, healthcare, and the economy itself.

🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the next AI shift…it’s happening faster than you think.
💬 What do you think: should AI therapy be banned, or is it the future of accessible care? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
