Cracker Barrel’s new logo has been called a “textbook case of how not to rebrand,” losing touch with the quirks that made people love their brand and erasing what it did best. By contrast, Chili’s has enjoyed a “corporate turnaround for the ages” by simplifying operations and focusing on its core.

However, as of this morning, any attempt to say what that outcome will be is, at best, an educated guess.

With yesterday’s introduction of GPT-5, artificial intelligence is back in the news, with the focus largely on how its advancements will impact day-to-day life.
