Claims from this post (5)
In the order they appear in the post. Each quotation is the speaker’s words in this post. A label such as “Supported” or “Can’t be checked” is the claim’s current assessment; its page has the evidence and the reasons.
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“If OpenAI had GPT-5, they have would shown it.”
What we tested: If OpenAI had GPT-5, it would have shown it.
Assessment: UnresolvedSaid
“They don’t have GPT-5 after 14 months of trying.”
What we tested: OpenAI does not have GPT-5 after 14 months of trying since GPT-4.
Assessment: UnresolvedSaid
“Lots of quirky errors are already being reported, same as ever, like this reasoning error from Jane Rosenzweig:”
What we tested: Lots of quirky errors in GPT-4o are already being reported, same as ever, such as a reasoning error reported by Jane Rosenzweig.
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“OpenAI has presumably pivoted to new features precisely because they don’t know how produce the kind of capability advance that the “exponential improvement” would have predicted.”
What we tested: OpenAI has presumably pivoted to new features precisely because it does not know how to produce the kind of capability advance that 'exponential improvement' would have predicted.
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“Most importantly, each day in which there is no GPT-5 level model–from OpenAI or any of their well-financed, well-motivated competitors—is evidence that we may have reached a phase of diminishing returns.”
What we tested: The continued absence of a GPT-5 level model from OpenAI or competitors is evidence that LLM development may have reached a phase of diminishing returns.

These records did not pass every check, so nothing about them is published. Held is not a finding.
- The two reviews reached different assessments. Our reading, not assessed: GPT-4o's speech synthesis is terrific and reminds him of Google Duplex, which never took off.
- The two reviews read the claim differently
