I jumped straight from 4o (free user) into GPT-5 (paid user).
It was a generational leap if there ever has been one. Much bigger than 3.5 to 4.
Yes, if OpenAI released GPT-5 after GPT-4o, then it would have been seen as a proper generational leap.
But o3 existing and being good at what it does? Took the wind out of GPT-5's sails.
What kind of improvements do you expect when going from 5 straight to 6?
