"Last week, OpenAI released GPT-5 and it has not been well received. In fact,
the company has already had to roll back a few features. They reversed course
on the new rate limits that were put in place. And they also had to give users
the option to use the GPT-4o model, which had been previously removed to make
way for GPT-5.
This is the first OpenAI release that has AI evangelists (and addicts) and AI
critics agreeing that it missed the mark. As cognitive scientist and prominent
AI skeptic Gary Marcus wrote over the weekend, “People had grown to expect
miracles, but GPT-5 is just the latest incremental advance. And it felt rushed
at that.”
Worse than rushed, according to the AI addicts, the biggest difference between
ChatGPT-5 and the previous model, ChatGPT-4 is “coldness.” In other words,
ChatGPT-5 isn’t as effusively sycophantic. And this is a huge problem for the
people who have become emotionally dependent on the bot."
