Sam Altman, in the summer update video:

> "[GPT-5] can write an entire computer program from scratch, to help you with whatever you'd like. And we think this idea of software on demand is going to be one of the defining characteristics of the GPT-5 era."

Lmao GPT-5 is still riddled with em dashes. At least we can still identify AI generated text slop for now

i don't really see any new features as such. everything is just "improved upon" based on existing parts of gpt-4o or o3-mini

The model "gpt-5" is not available. The link you opened specified a model that isn't available for your org. We're using the default model instead.

Watching the livestream now, the improvement over their current models on the benchmarks is very small. I know they seemed to be trying to temper our expectations leading up to this, but this is much less improvement than I was expecting

I mean that's just the consequence of releasing a new model every couple months. If Open AI stayed mostly silent since the GPT-4 release (like they did for most iterations) and only now released 5 then nobody would be complaining about weak gains in benchmarks.

Breaking: stilted LLM text now includes groups of 3 AND groups of 5.
