Please consider supporting this micro channel with getting me a coffee. 🥺 ➡️ https://buymeacoffee.com/veronicahylak In this video, I break down the real science behind why GPT-5 has upset so many users and what it reveals about the limits of AI as we know it. Despite being trained on massive datasets, GPT-5 struggles with accuracy, delivers colder and less human responses, and feels smarter on paper than it actually is in real-life interactions. We’ll cover: -Why GPT-5 keeps getting answers wrong despite being “smarter” on paper -How safety guardrails changed GPT-5’s tone and made it feel less human -Why benchmarks and performance tests don’t match real-world use -Whether we’re hitting the ceiling of AI with current large language models AI companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic keep pushing bigger, more powerful models, but GPT-5 may be proof that more data ≠ better AI. If you’re curious about AI accuracy, GPT-5 performance, hallucinations, benchmarks, guardrails, and where AI goes from here, this breakdown is for you. 00:00 INTRO 01:03 Why do these systems keep giving wrong answers? 02:25 Why bad data is impacting performance 03:53 Highlighting our sponsor Brilliant 05:07 What does GPT-5 "feel" different? 06:59 Why do these AI models not actually seem smarter? 08:51 Closing Part 2: Are we hitting the limits of AI?
