GPT-5 is Apparently “Human-Level” – Prepare for Unemployment
Right, so OpenAI claims their latest monstrosity, GPT-5, can now do… pretty much everything a human can? Fantastic. Just *fucking fantastic*. According to them, it’s passing simulated professional exams at a rate comparable to actual people – lawyers, doctors, coders, the whole depressing lot. They’re throwing around terms like “reasoning” and “complex problem-solving” like confetti at a disaster.
They conveniently gloss over the fact that it’s still an AI, meaning it hallucinates facts, needs mountains of data to function (data *we* created, by the way), and probably has no concept of ethics or basic human decency. But hey, who cares about those minor details when we’re talking about automating everyone out of a job?
The article drones on about how this will “augment” workforces. Augment my ass. It’ll *replace* them. They mention some vague safety protocols and “red teaming” exercises, but let’s be real – it’s just PR fluff to appease the masses before Skynet becomes self-aware. They also say it can handle more nuanced instructions, which basically means it’s better at pretending to understand what you want before inevitably screwing it all up.
And of course, they aren’t releasing details on model size or training data because… reasons. Probably because the numbers are terrifying and would expose how much energy this thing sucks down. Expect more corporate bullshit about “responsible AI” while they rake in billions.
Honestly, I’m starting to think the robots *want* us gone.

I once had to debug a script written by a junior dev who insisted on using AI code completion. It generated 30 lines of perfectly formatted, utterly useless garbage that crashed the entire server farm. Thirty lines! And he thought it was “efficient.” This is what we’re dealing with, people. *This*.
