ChatGPT-5 Key Points:
Simplification: OpenAI has merged its various models into a single ChatGPT-5, simplifying the user interface. An auto-selector feature now analyses the prompt and chooses the appropriate processing model, leading to greater use of its "deep thinking" capabilities.
Legacy Access: After initial backlash, OpenAI has allowed users to revert to older models like GPT-4.
Performance: The new model feels quicker, and token usage is cheaper.
Expectations vs. Reality: The update is seen as an incremental improvement rather than the "game-changing step change" many anticipated.

General AI Market & Advice:
Claude has also reduced its prices, following suit with OpenAI. It’s a race to the bottom in terms of pricing
The hosts note that the AI landscape is a constant "arms race," meaning the "best" model changes frequently and depends on the specific task.
The main advice for users is to experiment with different platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to find the one LLM you prefer. They emphasise treating AI like a "junior coworker" whose work must be verified for accuracy and truthfulness before use.
