About this listen
In this week's episode, Ryan is taking a deep dive into the hype and reality of OpenAI's latest release. Join us as we dissect the good, the bad, and the just plain weird of GPT-5.
The GPT-5 presentation was a letdown, feeling sterile and uninspired despite some impressive demos like coding a visual for Bernoulli's principle.
We explore the general consensus that GPT-5, in its current state, isn't living up to the hype and is even underperforming competitors like Grok.
Listener feedback reveals serious issues, including a detailed account of how GPT-5 struggled with a simple image recognition task and gave hilariously wrong advice.
The episode raises concerns about increased hallucinations, with the host sharing an anecdote about the model giving him incorrect dates and then "knowing" it was wrong.
We touch on other AI news, including the new brain-implant startup from Sam Altman, which puts him in direct competition with Elon Musk and Neuralink.
The overall verdict? Many people, including a listener quoted in the episode, are finding GPT-5 to be a step back, leading to the question: Is AGI cancelled?
