Right, I missed a whole decade. (For me 1989, the Mauerfall is the official end of GDR)

That's hilarious. Imagine going back two years and showing someone GPT-5? They might think the Pause AI movement had won. It makes you ponder an alternate timeline where the OpenAI brain trust wasn't dismantled

Which version did you use, though? GPT-5, GPT-5-Thinking, GPT-5 Pro, GPT-5-Mini, GPT-5 with Thinking (reasoning effort=high) or one of the other 18 options? Did you tell it to think harder? Maybe you are just holding it wrong?

Making what is essentially a router dispatching queries to the smallest engine susceptible to answer a question was maybe a good optimization from a techical and business pont of view.

But branding that router "GPT5" is a huge marketing mistake, because now, every time a smaller model says something stupid (as they often do), it seems that's the best OpenAI has to offer...

Linguistically it's an ok association. If you look at it unconsciously, you can find it plausible too, add 7 but in reverse.

GPT-5 fell into a coma and missed a few critical years.

A perfectly grammatical and plausible sentence. Those words all seem quite likely to occur in that sequence. Another LLM success.
