"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

GPT-5 isn't a new model; its a cost-savings wrapper around old models.
By removing your ability to control which models you use, they can throttle you by putting your queries to lower quality models.
Those 'lower quality' models can be more accurate yhan the expensive chain of thought ones for certain simpler problems. The chain of thought ones are liable to overthink simpler problems.
Well that's what it's called in the academic literature.
