Meet the team
An independent US magazine about generative AI
Chat GPT5 is a small, opinionated newsroom covering the generative AI revolution from the United States. We started in 2023 because most coverage of large language models had collapsed into one of two unhelpful modes: breathless hype or blanket cynicism. Neither was useful to the engineers, founders, writers and curious professionals trying to make real decisions about a technology that was changing under their feet every week.
Our promise is a quieter one. We test products with our own subscriptions. We name the categories where AI is genuinely transforming work and the ones where it still is not. We cite primary sources, we link generously to the research we are summarizing, and we publish corrections in public when we get something wrong.
Ellie Turner, founder and editor-in-chief
The magazine is built around Ellie Turner, a Brooklyn-based tech journalist who spent the previous decade covering software, cloud infrastructure and developer tooling for several US publications. Ellie writes most of our long-form work and edits everything else. She refuses any sentence she could not defend to a roomful of skeptical engineers, which keeps the bar high and the prose honest.
How we work
We publish across eight rotating beats — daily news in our Hot section, hands-on reviews under AI Tools, prompt engineering and product analysis under ChatGPT, plus regular dispatches on software, hardware, cybersecurity and the business of AI. We also build small free developer utilities for the kinds of tasks our readers do every day.
Editorial independence
Chat GPT5 is reader-supported through a future paid tier, occasional sponsorships clearly marked as such, and the founder’s own time and savings. We do not accept paid placements inside news pieces, we do not run affiliate-only product coverage, and we do not publish sponsored content without a banner at the top of the page. If we ever do, you will know.
Get in touch
Story tips, corrections, partnership ideas, kind words and angry rebuttals all welcome. The fastest way to reach the newsroom is our contact form. We read everything that comes in and reply to most messages within 48 to 72 business hours.
