ChatGPT 5 was released today.
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has unveiled the long-awaited latest version of its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, GPT-5, saying it can provide PhD-level expertise. Billed as “smarter, faster, and more useful,” OpenAI co-founder and chief executive Sam Altman lauded the company’s new model as ushering in a new era of ChatGPT. “I think having something like GPT-5 would be pretty much unimaginable at any previous time in human history,” he said ahead of Thursday’s launch. GPT-5’s release and claims of its “PhD-level” abilities in areas such as coding and writing come as tech firms continue to compete to have the most advanced AI chatbot.
I hate these examples. I feel they do such a bad job of showing that LLMs are lying machines and just make the journalists look like pedantic idiots. There is a perfect example of LLMs being lying machines and its from the GPT 5 presentation. GPT 5 tries to explain how lift works like a PHD holder and (according to what i’ve read from the people who actually have a PHD) it gets it completely wrong. Its explanation is incorrect, the wing shape it uses as an example is incorrect. It just all around fails at providing a correct explanation.
I asked it the same question and it answered correctly then tried 5 or six other random word examples and every one was correct.
