Of course, nobody really knows how big of an issue this will be. Twitter has changed directions and reversed course on many of its plans over the past few months. Maybe somebody at the company (not naming names) will change his mind and nothing will come of this threat. Or maybe it will just be one more item on the list of ways Twitter is becoming less fun.

The extremely popular AI generation program ChatGPT seems to be even more popular than people realize. Since January, the service’s user base has jumped to over 100 million people. AI is seeping into nearly every industry, from student book reports to government legislation to journalism. I would try to assure you that this article was written by a human, but that’s exactly what the AI would say.

Now, OpenAI has launched a paid version of its service, called ChatGTP Plus. (Even with the seemingly boundless generative possibilities of AI, they couldn’t come up with a snazzier moniker than the tried-and-true “Plus” suffix.) Right now the features offered at the paid tier are very similar to the free version, but it’s clear OpenAI has plans to distinguish between the two in an effort to profit off the popularity of its tool.

Big companies are also getting on the AI wagon. Google is apparently scrambling to catch up with OpenAI, while companies like Microsoft are just going with the flow of the biggest AI name out there. As part of its “multiyear, multibillion dollar investment” in OpenAI, Microsoft has incorporated an AI chat feature into the premium version of its Teams video-conferencing software.

Samsung, the biggest phone manufacturer in the world, held its annual Unpacked event this week. It announced the latest lineup of its Galaxy smartphones, along with a handful of new laptops.

While these events always try to drum up hype with a lot of enthusiastic pomp and club vibes, the star products of this show have lost their luster. Phones have gotten very good in recent years, to the point that companies struggle to come up with features that feel like big advancements. Phones have basically plateaued, and it may be one reason smartphone sales are at their lowest in nearly a decade.

On WIRED’s Gadget Lab podcast, we talk all about Samsung’s splashy event and what comes next after we hit peak smartphone.
