💨 Abstract

OpenAI's new AI model, GPT-5, failed to meet expectations, causing public ridicule and user dissatisfaction. CEO Sam Altman had hyped it as a breakthrough with "doctorate-level" intelligence. However, users found it unreliable and flat, leading to the return of previous models like GPT-4. OpenAI faced backlash as users discovered the new model couldn't perform basic tasks accurately, and some advocates were alarmed by the lack of personality.
