I think we have reached a user schism in terms of benefits going forward.
I am completely floored by GPT-5. I only tried it a half hour ago and have a whole new data analysis pipeline. I thought it must be hallucinating badly at first but all the papers it referenced are real and I had just never heard of these concepts.
This is for an area that has 200 papers on arxiv and I have read all of them so thought I knew this area well.
I don't see how the average person benefits much going forward though. They simply don't have questions to ask in order to have the model display its intelligence.
What do you think are the chances that they used data collected from users for the past couple of years and are propping up performance in those use cases instead of the promised generality?
