ChatGPT users are not happy with GPT-5 launch as thousands take to Reddit claiming the new upgrade ‘is horrible’

• OpenAI's GPT-5 is now available, but many users are angry with the new release
• GPT-5 has replaced the previous AI model selection with some users claiming the upgrade "is horrible"
• ChatGPT Plus subscribers now have limits to how often they can access reasoning models, and have lost access to the older more reliable ones like o4-mini and o4-mini-high

OpenAI just released GPT-5, the next generation of the company's AI model that will power ChatGPT for the foreseeable future.

In an hour-long livestream broadcast yesterday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and his team showcased GPT-5's capabilities and improvements over its predecessor, GPT-4o.

However, not even 24 hours later and social media sites like Reddit are being flooded with criticisms of the new AI model, with many users left unimpressed with the next generation of ChatGPT.
