🚨 GPT-5 Rollout Faces Early Backlash – Sam Altman Responds to Major User Concerns 🤖⚠️🔥📊
The highly anticipated launch of GPT-5 has been anything but smooth. Soon after release, users flooded Reddit’s AMA with Sam Altman, complaining the new model felt weaker than GPT-4o. The culprit? A malfunctioning real-time router that was supposed to pick the best model for each query — but failed during launch day, leaving many with subpar results.
Altman’s Fixes & Promises:
🛠 Router Repair: Immediate work to ensure users get the right model every time.
🔍 More Transparency: Users will soon see exactly which model is answering.
🔄 Possible GPT-4o Return: OpenAI is considering letting Plus users keep access to GPT-4o.
📈 Double Rate Limits: Plus subscribers will get twice the usage capacity during rollout.
The ‘Chart Crime’ Incident:
In the middle of these serious issues, a botched bar chart from the GPT-5 presentation went viral — showing a smaller score with a taller bar. Altman called it a “mega chart screwup,” and while humorous, it highlighted the need for better data integrity even in AI demos.
Takeaway for Users:
OpenAI is moving fast to address technical flaws, bring back popular features, and give users more value while GPT-5 stabilizes. Altman’s open engagement shows a clear commitment: listen, fix, improve.
