2. THE AI JOKE

"You must have a photographic memory. Too bad it's mostly blurry."

3. TAKEAWAYS

• GPT-5 represents a shift from static chatbot to autonomous collaborator.
• Agentic behavior allows AI to plan, execute, and retry tasks without human micromanagement.
• Multi-model routing boosts efficiency by toggling between light and deep reasoning modes.
• Tool use has leveled up: GPT-5 can now execute code, call APIs, and complete workflows.
• The collapse of traditional education may accelerate, driven by one-on-one AI tutors.
• AI is actively replacing white-collar jobs—even tech workers aren't safe.
• New AI platforms like Showrunner raise questions about creativity and content quality.
• GPT-5's voice and tone feel more human, even mimicking user quirks and humor.
• Safety systems are evolving, offering partial answers over hard denials, but still not foolproof.
• This is a foundational era—early, raw, but full of civilization-shaping potential.
