ChatGPT has become the Xerox of the AI world, but OpenAI no longer has the stage to itself. Google has been pushing Gemini deeper into its ecosystem, and every few weeks it feels like another rival pops up with promises of being faster, smarter, or more useful. So when the latest GPT-5 model launched last month, it felt like a release OpenAI couldn’t afford to get wrong.

While OpenAI’s benchmarks claim that GPT-5 is better than the competition, the numbers only tell us half the story. For proof, look no further than the widespread backlash over GPT-5’s responses at launch. OpenAI was forced to alter the model and make other changes, but more on how that drama unfolded later.
