AI | GPT-5 in the workplace: A 'PhD-level expert' or Death Star-level threat?

In the court of public opinion, few topics are as divisive currently as artificial intelligence.

You might have just found out, for example, that your spouse has been using ChatGPT to craft loving text messages, sending your date night spiraling into a blazing row.
