This epislode primarily critique the recently launched GPT-5, highlighting widespread user dissatisfaction. Many users, especially on Reddit, report the new model as "horrible," citing issues like inability to perform basic math, poor image analysis, slow and unhelpful responses, and a lack of the "personality" or creative flexibility found in older versions like 4o and 4.1. Some speculate these perceived downgrades are due to cost-cutting measures or problematic internal "routing" of queries to less capable models on the ChatGPT website, rather than the API. Furthermore, concerns are raised regarding GPT-5's significantly increased energy consumption and the potential for a discrepancy between OpenAI's ambitious claims about AGI and the actual performance and utility of their latest model, suggesting it may not be the "paradigm shift" many anticipated for the AI industry.
