AI TUTORIAL

🧠 ChatGPT-5 Got You Underwhelmed? Here’s What It Actually Does Better—And Where Rivals Still Win

OpenAI just launched ChatGPT-5, claiming it’s like talking to a PhD-level expert on demand. But many users say it feels colder, stricter, and… meh. So what’s really new?

Let’s break it down in a quick, step-by-step guide.

✅ Step 1: Where GPT-5 Actually Shines

1. Unified Intelligence

No more choosing between models. GPT-5 combines speed and depth — good for both quick replies and deep reasoning, especially for coding and math.

2. Way Fewer Mistakes

OpenAI claims up to 80% fewer hallucinations. Use GPT-5 for high-stakes info (medical, legal, technical).

3. Personalized Everything

Pick a tone: Nerd, Listener, Cynic, Robot.
Customize UI and voice. It even remembers your goals.
Coming soon: Full Gmail + Google Calendar integration.

4. Work Like a Power User

• Writes full programs from scratch

• Debugs its own code with a self-improvement loop

• Integrates with real apps to manage schedules, emails, and more

🚨 Step 2: When to Use Other Models

• Claude has live code previews, memory across sessions

• Gemini is best for video, diagrams, and breaking news

• Llama is open-source and self-hostable — ideal for secure, custom AI

⚡ Don’t Rely on Just One

GPT-5 is great, but not for everything.
Test-drive each model. Build your stack based on your workflow.
