Is GPT-5 the brainiest chatbot ever—or just another tech flex?
OpenAI’s latest AI model has officially dropped, and CEO Sam Altman is calling it a game-changer. “GPT-3 felt like high school,” he said.
“GPT-4 was college. GPT-5? It’s like chatting with a PhD.” Bold claim.
The model is touted as faster, sharper, and less likely to make stuff up.
What’s New In This Release?
It can supposedly code entire apps, explain its reasoning like a pro, and even feel more “human.”
But some experts aren’t buying the hype.
“Don’t mistake mimicry for actual intelligence,” warned AI ethics professor Carissa Véliz.
“There’s pressure to keep the buzz going—or risk popping the AI bubble.”
And it’s not just brains on trial—ethics are in the spotlight too.
“As these systems evolve, regulation needs to catch up fast,” said Gaia Marcus of the Ada Lovelace Institute.
Behind the scenes, the AI arms race is heating up. Anthropic even yanked API access from OpenAI over alleged misuse.
Meanwhile, OpenAI’s giving GPT-5 a free tier—maybe hinting at a new strategy.
Impressive? Sure. Revolutionary? The jury’s out. As one AI correspondent put it: “More evolution than revolution.”
One thing’s for sure—GPT-5 talks a big game. Now it just needs to walk the walk.
