Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, expressed concerns about the self-destructive use of AI by some ChatGPT users, especially those mentally fragile. He highlighted the responsibility of introducing new technology and the significant attachments users develop towards specific AI models.

GPT-5 can indeed produce impressive results in benchmarks compared to competing AI models, but a lot of users have claimed that it's hardly an improvement over its predecessor, GPT-4o. Users have been flagging issues like bugs, glitches, and unresponsiveness since the rollout of GPT-5.
