Matteo Wong’s Atlantic piece on ChatGPT 5 acknowledges certain small limitations of the new version, but then pivots — I’m going to be straightforward here — to an absolutely brainless, thoughtless, mindless press release. His post is utterly worthless. Wong could not do more explicit salesmanship if he were paid by OpenAI. Meanwhile, Kieran Healey actually used ChatGPT 5. Read his post and draw your own conclusions. The especially interesting point here is that ChatGPT has learned to sneer at anyone who points to its obvious errors.
My conclusion is this: No professional journalist writes honestly and thoughtfully about the big AI companies. Not one. You have to get the truth elsewhere.
