GPT5 was an effort by OpenAI to reduce costs. It is not smarter than the latest GPT4 models.
Because they are unable to make it smarter
If they could have made it smarter they would have
I feel like I’ve been hearing this stupid “PhD level intelligence” claim about every LLM that’s come out since ChatGPT was first released, including GPT-3.0 which it launched with. It kind of amazes me that people keep falling for it and not questioning how the new model having “PhD level intelligence” is both a true claim and also noteworthy when the claim is made about every new model.
To obtain a PhD, you need to contribute something original to your field of study, not just regurgitate what you’ve scraped from other studies.
If it spouts out enough nonsense something will be right eventually
GPT5 is gonna monkey a new hamlet? ITS GONNA BE THE BLURST OF TIMES?
Why is that image giving the same vibes as:

PhD is not even a “level of intelligence”.
Am I supposed to be impressed? I have a PhD level intelligence and I am not exactly impressive.
I still count and do math with my fingers and still fuck it up. I guess they’re just like us. 🥲
I would like to see you count 1.33 + 3.25 on your fingers. 🙂
Hold my beer while I sum up each decimal placement and carry the number over.
Nah, it’ll be more impressive if you do it while holding your beer.
I need full access to my piggies. :(
I do that and I have a BS in mathematics. and in 4th grade I literally used to write “I hate math” at the top of my math homework. as much as primary education systems want it to be, computation speed is not mathematical aptitude. you can memorize multiplication tables up to 20, that’s not gonna help you understand Cantor’s theorem
I know a dude with a PhD in Computer Science who’s far-right and his sister is a psychiatrist who thinks conversion therapy works lol lmao
This just shows that there is no correlation between beliefs and intelligence. The knowledge you obtain gets applied on top of your belief system, often times doesn’t change your beliefs. I have a couple of doctor friends and I wouldn’t go to 1 of them if my life depended on it. She graduated from a Caribbean med school and is your typical maga.
many doctors are just really good at regurgitating information they gathered in their 20’s, they’re not particularly inspired in their field of study or stay up-to-date on all the latest information. they just got into the work because it appeared to be a stable well-paying job, simple as
then are entire fields compromised by $ and short-sightedness, like podetry. modern feet have so many problems because modern shoes are just…terrible, but podiatrists make a bunch of $ peddling “arch support”, special shoes/inserts etc.
the foot-arch comes from a muscle, muscles atrophy when you when support them…all you need to do to get arches back is wear flat-soled shoes (this hurts, if you’ve not worn them…ever, as those muscles have barely been used)
They’re also talking about data centers in space, yet are too cheap to use anything but evaporative cooling + supplemental gas generators on Earth.
I did some math on, amongst other things, launch costs for an Earth-data center sized installation, or the area needed to radiatively cool it, and it is fun:

See that power of four? Areas get very large, like kilometers wide, if you want your coolant below a typical 300K (~30C), and apparently no one told Bezos that little detail.
Those space construction startups know what they’re doing. They’re selling billionaires a bridge to nowhere; and it’s working.
Capitalism has a whole lot of cult-like qualities. The space stuff just shows we are end game.
They’re selling billionaires a bridge to nowhere; and it’s working.
That’s just wealth redistribution /s
They’re selling billionaires a bridge to nowhere; and it’s working.
Look, I’m not saying it’s a good thing. In fact, it would be an insanely wasteful use of resources, labor, energy, etc.
That said, folks are all about “eat the rich” and this may very well be the closest thing to that.
“Scam the rich,” perhaps?

Guess I should have gone

I might have gotten some of that billionaire money to buy more RAM.deleted by creator
Just a few… more… trillion dollars! And all your drinking water.
And slave labor, not only to build the hardware, but to view the mountains of CSAM and other heinous material to build the “guardrails”
As someone who has a PhD and self identifies as a dumbass I can confidently say, it is not a high bar
When they achieve any intelligence it will be a milestone. Right now they just have scripts that regurgitates word salads.
Work in Academia … I’m not sure this is a high bar.
Me too, and I haven’t met a single right-wing person there, which proves their intelligence pretty conclusively.
Me: “Hey GPT-5 Ive been diagnosed cancer.” GPT-5: “Have you thought about using cocaine and essential oils!”
Yes! But I still have cancer
Have you ever seen the degrees in professor’s office? None of them are level
They said that for v3.5 lol
