GPT-5 had its fair share of issues at launch, but the most irritating comment I hear from tech commentators is something like: "we've waited for GPT-5 for 2 years and we got an iterative update" - this is completely and demonstrably false. GPT-5 was a relatively iterative change if you compare it to o3 from 6 months ago (though still a good uptick), but to say that we've had no progress in 2 years is absurd. I could have made the same chart with Claude 2 > Claude 4 or Gemini 1.0 to Gemini 2.5 - progress is massive.
