OpenAI's release of ChatGPT-5 on August 7, 2025, has sparked widespread criticism from users, particularly on platforms like Reddit. Complaints center on the model's perceived lack of conversational fluidity, restrictive rate limits, and the absence of customization options. Many users compared it unfavorably to its predecessor, GPT-4o, with some describing it as 'lobotomized.'

CEO Sam Altman swiftly addressed the backlash on social media, pledging to reintroduce GPT-4o for Plus subscribers and explore enhanced customization features. The company underestimated user attachment to GPT-4o's tone and functionality, prompting a reevaluation of its rollout strategy.
