# Having spent some time running previous ChatGPT 4x queries through 5.0

Having spent some time running previous ChatGPT 4x queries through 5.0, I have to admit I'm a little underwhelmed...

It's clearly quicker and the output feels more refined.

And it seems to suck up to me less than 4 did (although I had instructed 4 to stop doing that anyway), which is definitely a good thing.

But it doesn't feel like a HUGE leap forward.

At least not as bigger leap as Mr Altman might have everyone believe.

I think he said that it "blew his mind" when he first used it - PR spin I'm sure.

Has anyone else found a bigger leap than me yet?

Something that has blown them away?

P.S. It appears to be using EM dashes more than ever before... so that's really great.

P.S.S. Prompt for attached image was this post.
