Open AI, Oh No!

🗞️******AI News of The Week:**GPT5 💩

**Short Review of Chat GPT-5:**I wanted to love it, but it is slow, lacking personality and the quality of responses is just not as good as past models. Very disappointed.

Mike’s Take on GPT-5 I pay $20/month for ChatGPT and honestly not sure how I’ve survived without sometimes. I jump around to all of the major chat assistants (Claude, Perplexity, Grok, Gemini, etc) and use them for different reasons, but ChatGPT is always the one I go back to. It has always had that perfect blend of creative and tech with clear answers and great text formatting for long text. I also love Sora for images and the custom GPTs are great.

GPT-4 was so powerful and awesome and there was a lot of chatter that GPT-5 was mind-boggling good and was smarter than the average bear. I was excited and the first day or so I noticed a significant change in the responses, but told myself it was because ChatGPT was maturing and getting smarter, and maybe I wasn’t smart enough to understand. Several days later and I realize that it wasn’t me, GPT-5 stinks. The personality is gone (it may have been a little too nice before, but I liked it) and the responses are lazy and honestly low-quality. I caught a ton of mistakes and it just constantly asks me to confirm everything before it will generate responses. I could go on an on, but so far, I am very disappointed in GPT-5, but not giving up hope because the internet spoke loud and I know they will go back to the drawing board and fix it. It’s a real bummer, but Grok, Gemini & Claude will pick up the slack until Open AI rebounds. OpenAI Scrambles to Update GPT-5 After Users Revolt

🧠 AI Term of The Week: Chain of Thought (CoT)

Explain It Like I’m 5: Imagine you’re trying to solve a puzzle. Instead of just guessing the final answer, you show all the little steps you took to get there.

Chain of Thought is just like that. It’s a special way of teaching a computer to think out loud. Instead of giving a simple answer like “yes” or “no,” the computer shows its work, step by step, just like you would on a math problem. This helps the computer get the right answer more often, especially for tricky questions, because it’s forced to think through the logic.

“First, I need to find the number of apples.”

“Next, I’ll figure out how many oranges there are.”

“Then, I’ll add them together to get the total.”

Why it matters for creators: CoT makes AI outputs clearer, more accurate, and easier to debug or remix. Whether you’re prompting for stories, code, or captions, thinking with the model leads to better results.
