For non programming tasks ChatGPT has not improved that much since 3.5
Today I used GPT 5 to help plan a trip. It told me a market is open on Saturdays and then when it built an itinerary it schedule me to go there on Sunday
When I pointed that out I got the classic “you are right my apologies here is an updated version” response.
It’s ridiculous that it makes simple yet huge mistakes like that!
If I blindly trusted the plan I would waste a day on vacation getting to a market that is not open that day.
It is incredible to me that there is this buggy software out there and people keep insisting that it's "hallucinations". Like, this is ""AI"" and it ""hallucinates"".
No. It's buggy and has been buggy for years and everyone keeps making excuses because they just want so hard to believe.

It does not “just do stuff”
