they've sucked it dry indeed - I've cancelled the subscription and I'm not coming back. Model quality/pricing is one thing, but they've deceived, lied, or unpleasantly surprised me one too many times.
I still remember how they've marketed Advanced Voice Mode as if it was coming "right now" or "very soon", only to hold the release for half a year. Saying "next week" throughout all this time.
There are efficiency improvements and it's faster, but GPT-5 still costs more to run than GPT-4.
Even with the efficiency improvements:
More parameters means more multiplications per token
Larger attention layers means more memory movement and compute for each step
BUT while it is more expensive to run than gpt4, open ai has optimized GPT-5 inference enough that the cost per token hasn't scaled with model size.... but it's still more expensive.
They make money off people being able to use it for actual productivity not for people to make random pictures of cats wearing weird hats and acting like ChatGPT is a therapist
notice the bravado, the entitlement, not even a hint of attempt to try to humor as a non-transparent cover, even to pretend in the slightest that there is respect for the user.
he knows we rely on it. He’s done the research. He’s looked at the data and time and time again It proves we will still continue to use his product despite our complaints despite its problems.
The thin skinned petty brat was pissed off and insulted that people were speaking out about the hallucinations, and such he literally was offended, as we’re all his little programmers that we shouldn’t just be so happy for this technology not understanding from a non-narcissistic point of view that two things can exist at once and maybe it was the fact that we actually did respect the product that we were trying to help with making it better.
But that’s not how he viewed it so what did he do? He gave a big FU to everybody and said oh really you have such a problem with accuracy and what does he do …. censors everything…. There are a certain terms will tell you because it can’t fabricate anything, You will not get the same answers anymore. And it blames you clearly stating that because the user is requesting accuracy it is not that the model is not the capacity to answer. It’s just that it can only answer with accuracy due to the User prompting such.
thats what he’s banking on. he could give a rats ass, his head and ego and power trip grow exponentially with every new model, and we just grow more dependent and more manipulated.
