OpenAI unveiled its latest generative AI model, GPT-5, on Thursday. CEO Sam Altman says that ChatGPT is now like having a “superpower” and the equivalent of “a legitimate PhD-level expert in anything, any area you need, on demand, that can help you with whatever your goals are.” But after a day of playing around with it, many people are disappointed. Not only because GPT-5 still fumbles basic questions , but because it seems to be breaking a lot of workflows, according to complaints posted to Reddit.
How much do people hate what happened with GPT-5? Altman now says they’re bringing back the last model for paid users. “We will let Plus users choose to continue to use 4o. We will watch usage as we think about how long to offer legacy models for,” Altman tweeted .
