I think a lot of it is a reaction to the hype before the launch of GPT-5. People were sold and were expecting a noticeable big step (akin to GPT 3.5-4), but in reality it's not that much noticeably better for the majority of use cases.
Don't get me wrong, I actually quite like GPT-5, but this is how I understand the backlash it has received.
- tibbar 1y agoYeah that is fair. I admit to being a bit bummed out as well. One might almost say that if O3 was effectively GPT5 in terms of performance improvement, that we were all really hoping for a GPT6, and that's not here yet. I am pretty optimistic, based on the information I have, that we will see GPT6-class models which are correspondingly impressive. Not sure about GPT-7 though.
- senordevnyc 1y agoHonestly, I’m skeptical of that narrative. I think AI skeptics were always going to be shrill about how it was overhyped and thus this proves how right they were! Seriously, how good would GPT5 have had to be in order for Ed to NOT write this exact post? I’m very happy with GPT5, especially as a heavy API user. It’s very cost effective for its capabilities. I’m sure GPT6 will be even better, and I’m sure Ed and all the other people who hate AI will call it a nothing burger too. So it goes.
