ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini. What is Artificial Intelligence? The Complete Truth About AI in 2025

Mikhail Patsin, investor and founder of Web3 University, explains why the definition of artificial intelligence has changed dramatically in 2025 — modern AI does not just imitate human behavior, but actually thinks, reflects in real time and can work autonomously for hours to achieve complex goals. He highlights four key features of the new AI: multimodality (understanding text, images, audio simultaneously), reasoning (the thinking process), agent behavior (independent work) and extended thinking (the ability to think for minutes on complex problems). Mikhail dispels the myths that AI will replace all professions or is always right, emphasizing that the main danger is not the uprising of machines, but the excessive dependence of people on technology, and calls for the development of critical thinking and the study of prompt engineering as a basic skill of the modern era.
