Have you ever wondered what would happen if you gave a language model like GPT-5 just a tiny nudge? Apparently, some users have found that even typing as little as 0.5 words can unlock free access to the model’s capabilities. This raises some interesting questions about how these models are designed to interact with users and what kind of limitations are in place.
I’m curious – have any of you experienced something similar with GPT-5 or other language models? What do you think are the implications of such a low barrier to access?
The image shared on Reddit shows a screenshot of a user getting free access after typing just a few characters. It’s amazing to see how these models can be pushed to their limits, and what kind of creative workarounds users can find.
