GPT-5 and Persistent Hallucinations? A Glimpse into the Truth of ChatGPT

Hello everyone! Today, I want to share some fascinating AI news with you all. It's about the release of OpenAI's latest model, GPT-5. I was really intrigued when I heard the news. What I was most looking forward to was that ChatGPT would become more stable and that the 'hallucination' phenomenon, where it presents fabricated information as fact, would decrease.

However, a recent personal account has shown that such expectations might be premature. 💧

A Special Encounter in Sicily, and an Unexpected Event

This story begins during a dinner at a charming culinary school in beautiful Sicily. While having dinner there, I met an impressive Australian who was in charge of the restaurant's promotion. Naturally, I became curious to learn more about his agency, and I immediately started looking for related information.

The first place I thought of was LinkedIn. I reasoned, 'Surely, a public relations professional this active must have a LinkedIn profile?' But… nothing came up. 🤷‍♀️

'That's strange, but not everyone is on LinkedIn,' I thought, and then I tried a Google search. I was convinced there would be information on Google. However… this too was in vain. I couldn't find any information at all.

In Sicily, which felt like the setting of the TV drama 'The White Lotus,' I even started to wonder if this person was part of an elaborate fabricated story, perhaps enjoying a fake life under the sun for a while. 😅

However, by piecing together various other facts I learned during the dinner, I became convinced that he was indeed a real person. So, why was there no trace of him online? This is precisely the point that raises questions about how much the 'hallucination' issue with ChatGPT, presenting false information as fact, has been resolved through GPT-5.

GPT-5: Has the Hallucination Phenomenon Truly Decreased?

One of the most significant claims by OpenAI at the time of GPT-5's release was that ChatGPT would become more stable, with fewer instances of presenting speculation as fact. Many users, including myself, had high hopes for this. We wanted AI to be a more reliable source of information.

Yet, as the experience mentioned above illustrates, there are still cases that show there's a long way to go. Just as the information about the impressive Australian in Sicily couldn't be found online, it suggests that ChatGPT can sometimes make unexpected errors.

Of course, this could be because GPT-5 has only recently been released. AI technology is constantly evolving, and OpenAI will undoubtedly continue to improve based on user feedback. Nevertheless, the issue of 'hallucinations' or presenting false information as fact is undeniably a challenge that must be overcome for AI to be more deeply integrated into our lives.

However, at the same time, to trust AI and utilize it in a better direction, it is important to recognize these technological limitations and continuously pay attention and make efforts.

I look forward to seeing how much further ChatGPT will evolve and how it will overcome issues like the 'hallucination' phenomenon. Let's all cheer for a future where we grow alongside AI, and watch with warm hearts! 😊
