Listen to the story
In short
- Altman shares that GPT-5 is smart than humans in solving complex questions
- He had earlier confirmed that the GPT-5 launch is in the pipeline
- It is expected to arrive in the beginning of August 2025
AI is developing at an unprecedented speed and is becoming smarter and smarter with each passing day. This progress is also bringing the fear of AI and its ability to change humans. While that day has not yet come, even Openai CEO Sam Altman admitted what he is coming next, it is unresolved. Sharing a recent event associated with the upcoming GPT-5, Altman revealed that the abilities of this advanced model made her almost “felt” useless “.
Speaking on the podcast of this previous weekend of Comedian Theo Von, Altman revealed that when he recently used GPT -5 for some work, the model demonstrated such intelligence that it felt him “useless relative to AI’s intelligence”. Altman shared that he had fed AI a question that he could not fully understand:
“I put it in the model (a question that I got in an email)-this is GPT-5-and it replied it completely. I felt useless relative to AI in this thing, which I felt that I should have been able to do so, and I could not, and it was really difficult. But it was a strange feeling.
Altman realized this moment how powerful GPT-5 has become.
Interestingly, Altman has already confirmed on X (East Twitter) that GPT-5 will be released “soon”. While the company has not yet shared accurate dates, the teaser and the fact that Altman shared GPT -5 is already being used, it is speculation that the next generation model is just a week away. According to rumors, the Advanced AI model from Openai may come in early August, OpenAII planned to release the model’s mini and nano versions through its API.
The GPT-5 has already been seen in limited tests, further speculation about its arrival and Openai has so far stuck in its most advanced system in its most advanced system. In fact, Altman first described the model “as a system that integrates our technique,” with the argument abilities manufactured.
Meanwhile, at the same podcast, Altman also touched the concerns raised about the mental health effects of AI, especially more people are using AI for therapy, AI makes emotional enclosure for peers, and rely on them on a large scale. Answering Von’s question whether AI will have the same negative effect that is really on social media, Altman replies, “I am afraid of it … I don’t think we know the ways in which it is of the negative effects, but I think it’s going to happen and we will happen”.
