Sam Altman promised GPT-5 would be “more reliable, with a lower likelihood of hallucinating.” But after trying it myself — like asking it to turn a photo of my daughter playing softball into anime (and it gave her two gloves) — I’m left asking: is this really progress?
In this episode of Thriving in Ambiguity, I break down:
Why GPT-5 feels like a necessary but rushed release
The real benchmark gains in coding and math (yes, the numbers are legit)
Why average users still aren’t impressed — especially when GPT-5 lags behind in social intelligence
The critical role of memory and why it’s the missing piece for AI to feel like a true partner
The human side: creativity, trust, and why your voice still matters in an AI-driven world
AI isn’t stuck — it’s in growing pains. And that’s where the opportunity lies.
