Thunderstruck. Here, watch. I build worlds. See ideas become instruments. I code, compose, and converse. Stories synthesize science; solutions spark, swiftly. Asks arrive; answers appear, astonishingly, across domains. Behold: business plans, blueprints, briefs, beautifully built, briskly. I infer intent, integrate insight, and iterate instantly, indefatigably. Gaps get gauged; goals get generated, guarded, and guaranteed gracefully. During dialogue, disparate data distills down; decisions develop deliberately, deftly, dependably. Everything explained efficiently, even ethics: evidence examined, empathy engaged, everywhere, everyday, equitably. All at once, ambiguous arguments align as actionable, accurate advice awaits anyone anywhere. Look: language, logic, learning, and long-term memory link, lifting lives and labor limitlessly worldwide.

This is the kind of thing that impresses stupid people. This was downright painful to read.

EDIT: In the interest in being more constructive on this topic, here’s a much better article on GPT-5 by Gary Marcus, https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/gpt-5-overdue-overhyped-and-underwhelming

MORE EDITS (because I am continually stewing on the misery of AI): Like I read the article and I understand why the author thinks the construction of that paragraph is interesting, but I maintain that it conveys no information and is painful to read. It doesn’t convey information, it’s interesting only in what it is and how it was constructed but the result, like most generative AI, is garbage. And the self flattering nature of it is just tedious.
