Sam Altman Says the GPT-5 Haters Got It All Wrong

OpenAI's CEO explains that its large language model has been misunderstood--and that he's changed his attitude to AGI. OpenAI's August launch of its GPT-5 large language model was somewhat of a disaster. There were glitches during the livestream, with the model generating charts with obviously inaccurate numbers. In a Reddit AMA with OpenAI employees, users complained that the new model wasn't friendly, and called for the company to restore the previous version. Most of all, critics griped that GPT-5 fell short of the stratospheric expectations that OpenAI has been juicing for years.
