With GPT-6, ChatGPT’s responses are much more visually appealing and interactive

OpenAI Group PBC says ChatGPT is moving away from its traditional wall-of-text responses and giving users a more interactive user interface to play with.

In a media briefing today, the company said its GPT-6 models will now be able to access an “Intelligent UI” that will allow the chatbot to generate more visual outputs when it deems necessary, replacing words with graphics, tappable buttons, forms and charts” that will provide a much more interactive experience.

ChatGPT will determine for itself when an answer needs a more visually appealing response and interactive elements for the user to explore a topic more deeply. In such instances, the model will integrate these directly with its response.

In an example, OpenAI showed someone asking ChatGPT how to piece together a 7-speed bicycle, and rather than just churning out endless text that explains everything, it instead generated a complete design breakdown, complete with visualizations of each of the main parts and a clickable button that allows readers to learn more about each of them. In a second example, a user asked ChatGPT to create a plan for a lamb roast with pictures of each dish, plus a recipe that allowed the user to alter the number of guests in order to recalculate the amount of ingredients required.

OpenAI explained that ChatGPT will generate these visualizations from a library of components that the GPT-6 models were pre-trained on. For more basic prompts and questions, the chatbot will stick with the old text-only format, but users will have the option to request a more interactive response at any time, and it will reformat the response accordingly.

The goal with this update is to make “learning complex topics easier,” said OpenAI Product Manager Aarush Selvan in the briefing. The intelligence UI may also help to make ChatGPT more accessible and increase its appeal, though Selvan didn’t say this directly.

ChatGPT has predominantly been a text-based interface,” Selvan said. But the company wants to help people get things done, and it believes that “from the everyday things like planning a recipe or a trip or even trying to learn something, the most helpful answers aren’t just text.”

ChatGPT’s Intelligent UI isn’t entirely original. In fact, it’s somewhat reminiscent of Google LLC’s “Generative Interface,” which was introduced with the launch of Gemini 3 last year, although it seems to be a bit more colorful and more graphics-heavy. When Google introduced that feature, there was a lot of excitement around it, but it doesn’t really appear to have differentiated Gemini as a chatbot all that much.

It’s worth nothing that OpenAI didn’t say if the Intelligent UI would mean higher token consumption, but that does appear to be the case with all of those extra elements being generated, so that’s something users might want to watch out for. It’s also not clear how susceptible these visual elements may be to the cures of every AI chatbot, namely hallucinations.

OpenAI, however, seems to be pushing for AI to become more visually appealing. Earlier this week, the company revealed it would soon introduce the first image-based ads in ChatGPT’s responses. More cynical users might think that the Intelligent UI may make it more difficult to see which responses are ads and which are the chatbots own, but regardless, ads are almost certainly going to become a part of every AI chatbot at some point.

OpenAI said the Intelligent UI is being made available from today for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise subscribers, though in the latter case, the workplace administrator will need to enable it. Free users and Go subscribers will get access to it tomorrow.

Browser-in-browser attacks use fake Meta Muse Ad lure to steal credentials

Wiley fisherfolk spin up a new page just days after Meta's AI agent launch

A phishing campaign targeting advertising managers by impersonating Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Manus to steal credentials and multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes has added a fake Muse Ads product to its lure lineup – just eight days after Meta launched its personal AI agent.

Meta announced Muse on September 8, and by September 17, a very convincing website – museads.ai – for a product called Muse Ads that promised to help advertisers reach buyers and run sponsored placements popped up online.

“The operators already had the platform, so adapting it to a new brand can take minutes,” Oleg Zaytsev, lead security researcher at Island, told The Register. “The striking part is how quickly they turned a timely announcement into a credible reason for someone to act. The same platform could then be repackaged around other familiar tasks, from connecting a business tool to claiming a refund or applying for a job.”

The security startup spotted the Muse Ads webpage, and upon digging into the scam uncovered that just the page was new. “Its code, from the sign-in forms to the fake browser window, came from a wider operation that had already run fake ad products for Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Manus,” Zaytsev and fellow Island researcher Ofek Ronen wrote in a blog post published Tuesday.

All of these products served as lures for browser-in-the-browner (BitB) attacks designed to trick agency staff, media buyers, and manager-account administrators into handing over their advertising account credentials – along with stored payment methods and client accounts – to digital thieves.

“For victims, the potential cost is loss of access to an advertising account, unauthorized ad spend, and exposure of linked client accounts,” Zaytsev told The Register.

How the scam works

BitB is a clever phishing technique originally detailed by a researcher called mr.d0x in 2022. It involves building a fake login window directly inside a legitimate one. The fake window looks like the real thing, featuring an address bar, title, and URL, but it's just an overlay to steal users’ credentials.

According to Zaytsev, this one has likely proved very lucrative for its criminal operators, with hundreds of victim submissions to the platform, and activity still ongoing.

“From one frontend alone, we observed submissions involving roughly 200 distinct email addresses over about a month,” he told us. “The operators used the same platform across many similar sites, so we estimate the campaign-wide volume is substantially higher.”

Each phony ad product has its own page, with ChatGPT promising users a Monday Google Ads brief, Gemini offering manager account and linked-client support, Claude an advertising portal, Perplexity pitching campaign planning and spend audits, and Manus providing a private Meta integration.

Each fake product page also has a “connect” button. When the victim clicks “connect,” it opens the browser-in-browser overlay, with a fake address bar showing accounts.google.com, or an Okta tenant to gain the victim’s trust. The real browser, however, stays on the phishing domain and steals credentials when the victim types them in.

A human operator running the campaign sees each submission and chooses what the victim sees and is prompted to do. This includes asking for another password, requesting an SMS or Okta authenticator code to bypass MFA, showing a Google approval code or Okta push request, or displaying a QR code.

The platform supports Google, Meta, TikTok, and Okta workflows, and the browser overlay adapts to whatever the victim runs: Window, macOS, iOS, ot Android, and even mimics Safari’s URL pill, Chrome’s custom tabs, and a dark mode.

And while the researchers told us they haven’t identified the people operating the kit or found a name under which it’s sold, the operators did expose older source code through misconfigured public GitHub repositories that connected this to a campaign to a larger operation.

In addition to the AI ad pages, this operation also used fake refund claims and job recruitment sites as lures with separate builds for Adidas, Google Careers, Robert Half, Tesla, and Louis Vuitton.

All of these pages run on one Next.js and Socket.IO stack. Many of the pages also used Vercel frontends with Railway or Render services behind them for state and commands.

“A new brand or polished page doesn’t necessarily mean a new attack. Operators can change the lure quickly, but the workflow still has to move someone onto a site they control, collect credentials, and steer them through authentication,” Zaytsev said.

“Security teams should maintain a continuous baseline of trusted domains, check the real browser address, and connect similar behavior across different sites,” he added. “Attackers can generate a convincing website quickly; building the domain history and reputation of a legitimate service is much harder. AI can help defenders keep pace with AI-generated websites, especially as they become more convincing and appear more quickly.”. ®
