OpenAI Pauses App Suggestions After Users Complain They Look Like “Ads”
OpenAI has officially paused a controversial feature in ChatGPT that offered "app suggestions" for specific brands, following a wave of backlash from paying subscribers who accused the company of sneaking in advertisements.
Details:
Executives strongly denied that any live ad testing is happening. They said the Peloton and Target prompts were only meant to highlight third-party apps with no financial ties. Still, many users remained skeptical
Leaders admitted the rollout fell short of expectations. They said anything that feels like an ad must be handled carefully. The feature has been disabled while they improve precision and add opt-out controls
The move comes as reports claim CEO Sam Altman issued a code red to focus on core model quality. This has slowed any push into advertising, even after hiring several big names to build that part of the business
While the company maintains that any future advertising will be approached thoughtfully to respect user trust, this rapid reversal signals a return to focus on product performance over promotional experiments.

Anthropic Study Reveals 69% Of Workers Hide AI Use
A study from Anthropic reveals a massive contradiction in the modern workplace: while professionals rely on AI daily to boost productivity, a staggering 69% hide their usage due to fear and social stigma.
Details:
Most workers say AI saves them time — 86% overall and 97% of creatives. But many hide their usage to avoid judgment or the fear that employers might replace them once they reveal how much is automated
Employees want AI to remove repetitive admin work so they can focus on meaningful tasks. But leaders often use AI’s efficiency to justify layoffs and budget cuts, especially in large tech companies
Different fields face different risks. Creatives worry about losing control over their work. Scientists don’t trust AI for core research. And as entry-level tasks get automated, junior workers may struggle to find a place in the industry
Workers feel forced to use AI to stay competitive, yet fear the same tools boosting their output are making their jobs obsolete.

How to Build a High Converting Landing Page in 5 Minutes with Replit
If you struggle with landing page builders or hate spending hours tweaking layouts, Replit’s Design Mode can help. It generates a custom, professional-looking page—no coding needed.
Prepare landing page blueprint
Start by generating a structured prompt in any AI chat tool. Include:
Your brand or product name
Ideal audience
Core offer
Conversion goal (signups, purchases, bookings)
Required page sections
Desired visual style and mood
Preferred CTA style and placement
Collect visual inspiration
Look for landing page designs you admire on Behance, Dribbble, Awwwards, or even top SaaS websites. Take a clean screenshot of the layout you'd like to emulate.
Translate inspiration into refined prompt
Upload the screenshot to your AI chat tool and ask it to rewrite your original prompt to match the style, structure, and spacing of the design you selected.
This helps the final output feel modern and consistent rather than generic.
Set up workspace inside Replit
Log into your Replit account, start a new project, and switch to the Design tab. Paste your updated prompt into the input box.
Generate landing page structure
Tell Replit:
“Create a responsive, single-page landing site using the instructions I provided. Include relevant assets and keep the layout clean.”Replit will produce ready-to-edit sections including hero, features, social proof, and CTA.
Customize content
Refine key elements so the page feels authentic to your business:
Replace placeholder testimonials with real social proof
Swap in your logos, brand colors, and product screenshots
Add or adjust your CRM/lead form, buttons, and microcopy
Final review and launch
Scan your page for mobile responsiveness, consistency, and loading speed. Once satisfied, publish directly from Replit and connect your custom domain to make it live.
Note: Replace every placeholder icon or image with real brand visuals to strengthen trust and increase overall credibility.
