GPT-Whiff<\/h2>\n

It has only been five days since OpenAI’s long-awaited GPT-5 model was released<\/a> \u2014 and in those five days, we’ve been given countless reasons to conclude that it’s a bit of a dud.<\/p>\n

From\u00a0Axios<\/em>‘ review<\/a> announcing that the new large language model (LLM) has “landed with a thud” to\u00a0Ars Technica\u00a0<\/em>making the argument<\/a> that the launch of the much-anticipated new model\u00a0has been “messy,” the tech press has spoken \u2014 and the news is not good for OpenAI.<\/p>\n

As The Information<\/em> points out<\/a>, OpenAI may have hit the much-dreaded “trough of disillusionment,” where hype and inflated expectations suddenly give way to widespread disappointment when the results don’t live up to that hype.<\/p>\n

In other words, the ChatGPT maker has fallen far short of Altman’s lofty promises<\/a>. It’s a worrying sign that the industry may be rapidly approaching a point of diminishing returns<\/a>, which doesn’t bode well considering how much money companies continue to pour into the tech.<\/p>\n

Large Languishing Model<\/h2>\n

And it’s not just the tech media that noticed. Users on social media derided the long-awaited AI model<\/a> as a major step back, with some speculating that OpenAI was looking to cut costs by hamstringing its capabilities.<\/p>\n

Despite knowing that GPT-5 wasn’t going to live up to the hype, the company persisted in overblowing it. Multiple developers told The Information<\/em>, for instance, that the new model had issues with seamlessly knowing when to “think harder” when given tougher prompts \u2014 a pain point power users have already been noticing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Even if GPT-5 is an improvement in certain domains, there have been so many model releases from OpenAI and its rivals since GPT-4o came out last May,” The Information<\/em> noted, “that the improvements can feel incremental.”<\/p>\n

As friendly press chides OpenAI for failing to deploy something truly impressive \u2014 which is, to be fair, not a new problem<\/a> for the AI company \u2014 users are outright trashing it.<\/p>\n

From the “power users” furious that they lost their BFF<\/a> GPT-4o to those who think the new model’s responses are shorter and less precise<\/a>, criticisms of GPT-5 abound<\/a> on social media \u2014 and with only paid subscribers<\/a> being able to go back to 4o, there’s a non-zero chance many OpenAI stans will jump ship for good<\/a>.<\/p>\n
