  WDYM, “still?” That implies they’re trying to make it something else, but they’re not.

  The whole technology is based on a flawed simulation of intelligence. It has no understanding of the meaning of what it is saying. It will always be bullshitting.

  It’s like any other tool; it requires an user who knows how to use it and what the limitations are. It’s not as competent as Sam Altman wants you to believe but it’s not as incompetent as the haters wants you to believe either.

    In short, GPT-5 improves in the coding aspect although there is no improvement in the rest of the aspects and this model saves resources for OpenAI because it does not require more computational power compared to its previous models.

  GPT-5 struggles

  GPT helped me many more times and in an incredibly faster manner than forum humans.

  Most people are just too dumb to use GPT effectively. They assume that if the system allows to enter vague typo-riddles queries that means it is how it should be. Most people ask ChatGPT some nonsense questions and expect something “wow”. No. It doesn’t work this way.

  C++. SQLite. sqlite3_open() returns 14. Code is run with root privileges.

  Here is an example of the query if you want to get a useful answer.

  My program can’t create DB in Linux. Help, pretty please

  Here is an example of how imbeciles ask.

    But LLMs are tools for imbeciles. If you can formulate your question correctly, you can just google it and get similar results from stackoverflow or reddit. LLMs searching the internal internet archive or use live google search anyway, but outputs results in slightly different style and sometimes glues answers together in seemingly cohesive manner, but at the same time leaving other context clues out of the picture - for example, doing search in google and visiting actual website with source info, you can gauge how credible it is by looking at answer upvotes, comments, date of the original answer, etc. LLMs strip that valuable information away and just provide you with castrated answer. Not to mention limited context window of any LLM, which causes funny hallucinations if you overstretch it. LLMs are solution in search of a problem, they cannot help dumb people, and they do not provide enough value to smart people.

    That was my first result. Did I do worse than a phd chatgpt 5 ai?

      1st link has some useful information.
      So what’s your point? I don’t try to compare you to ChatGPT.

      GPT-5 struggles with basic questions.

      I just say that people struggle with using ChatGPT. ChatGPT doesn’t struggle with basic questions if you’re asking it in an adequate way.
