- GPT-5's release was highly anticipated but ultimately underwhelming, failing to meet the high expectations set by OpenAI and Sam Altman.
- The AI community reacted with significant disappointment, with many users pointing out persistent issues like hallucinations and errors, leading to a petition to revert to older models.
- OpenAI's credibility took a hit, with its valuation and market perception suffering due to GPT-5's lack of significant advancement over previous models.
- A research paper from Arizona State University highlighted the fundamental limitations of large language models (LLMs), particularly their inability to generalize beyond training data, echoing long-standing criticisms.
- The broader field of generative AI faces skepticism as repeated promises of AGI and transformative breakthroughs remain unfulfilled, with many questioning the viability of scaling as a path to AGI.
