I recently came across an article about OpenAI’s new ChatGPT-5, which is being touted as having ‘PhD level’ intelligence. But what really caught my attention was that, despite its lofty claims, it struggled with basic spelling and geography. That’s right – this supposedly advanced AI model couldn’t even get simple things right.
I have to admit, I’m a bit skeptical about the hype surrounding AI models like ChatGPT-5. On one hand, it’s impressive to see how far AI has come in recent years. But on the other hand, it’s essential to remember that these models are only as good as the data they’re trained on, and they can still make mistakes.
The article I read mentioned that ChatGPT-5 struggled to spell simple words and had trouble with basic geography questions. That’s concerning, especially when you consider the potential applications of AI models like ChatGPT-5. If we’re going to trust these models with important tasks, we need to be sure they can get the basics right.
I’m not saying that ChatGPT-5 is a bad model or that it doesn’t have any potential. But I do think we need to be more cautious about the hype surrounding AI and focus on creating models that are truly reliable and accurate. What do you think? Are you excited about the potential of AI models like ChatGPT-5, or do you think we need to take a step back and focus on getting the basics right?
