This brings up an interesting philosophical point: say we get to AGI... who's to say it won't just be a super smart underachiever-type? "Hey AGI, how's that cure for cancer coming?" "Oh it's done just gotta...formalize it you know. Big rollout and all that..." I would find it divinely funny if we "got there" with AGI and it was just a complete slacker. Hard to justify leaving it on, but too important to turn it off.

Would definitely watch that movie.

It already exists!

My impression has been that ChatGPT-5.4 has been getting dumber and more exhausting in the last couple of weeks. Like it makes a lot of obvious mistakes, ignores (parts of) prompts. keeps forgetting important facts or requirement.

Maybe this is a crazy theory, but I sometimes feel like they gimp their existing models before a big release to you'll notice more of a "step".

Given that it’s so easy, would you still do this same job if paid half as much?

Jobs will likely pay less as more people are enabled to create, especially if they don't need to be able to look under the hood

This doesn't have API access yet, but OpenAI seem to approve of the Codex API backdoor used by OpenClaw these days... https://twitter.com/steipete/status/2046775849769148838 and https://twitter.com/romainhuet/status/2038699202834841962 And that backdoor API has GPT-5.5. So here's a pelican: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/23/gpt-5-5/#and-some-peli... I used this new plugin for LLM: https://github.com/simonw/llm-op…

Exciting. Another Pelican post.

See if you can spot what's interesting and unique about this one. I've been trying to put more than just a pelican in there, partly as a nod to people who are getting bored of them.

Just as a heads up, even though GPT-5.5 is releasing today, the rollout in ChatGPT and Codex will be gradual over many hours so that we can make sure service remains stable for everyone (same as our previous launches). You may not see it right away, and if you don't, try again later in the day. We usually start with Pro/Enterprise accounts and then work our way down to Plus. We know it's slightly annoying to have to…

Looks good, but I’m a little hesitant to try it in Codex as a Plus user since I’m not sure how much it would eat into the usage cap.

You know they are 1000% training these models to draw pelicans, this hasn't been a valid benchmark for 6 months +

OpenAI must be very bad at training models to draw pelicans (and bicycles) then.

Still huge hallucination rate, unfortunately at 86%. To compare, Opus sits at 36%. Source: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models?omniscience=omniscience...

grok is 17%? And that's the lowest, most models are like 80%+?

While hallucination is probably closer to 100% depending on the question. This benchmark makes no sense.

Congrats on the release! Is Images 2.0 rolling out inside ChatGPT as well, or is some of the functionality still going to be API/Playground-only for a while?

Images 2.0 is already in ChatGPT.

When I generate an image with ChatGPT, is there a way for me to tell which image generation model has been used?

The meta here is to use LLMs to make things simpler and easier, not to make things harder.

Turning tokens into a well-groomed and maintainable codebase is what you want to do, not "one shot prompt every new problem I come across".
